INDIVIDUAL LIFE. 

The individual life is that force, heat and power 
or living energy that makes the heart beat, the 
blood circulate, that carries and supports the body 
in every motion and exertion. It is also the force, 
power or strength, that sees, hears, smells, tastes, 
feels, talks, condemns, praises, cries, laughs, 
swears, prays, thinks, reasons, and the individual 
will that leads, suggests or compels a person to 
the daily performances whether they are good or 
evil for the individual, community or nation. The 
individual life, force, power or living energy, is 
produced within the bodily organs from two 
different mixtures, the air and the blood. The 
method used in manufacturing the individual life 
force, power or living energy is the natural press¬ 
ure upon the air, that forces the air into the nose 
or mouth, wind pipe and the lungs, where it meets 
the blood. In the lungs where the two mixtures 
meet, there at once commences a chemical activity, 
as both mixtures have a very strong chemical af¬ 
finity towards each other. This chemical activity 
continues through the lungs, pulmonary veins lead¬ 
ing the blood and air into the upper left chamber 
of the heart or left auricle, from there the two mix¬ 
tures pass into the left lower chamber or left 
ventricle, which part of the heart is most solid and 
strongly built and the valves between the upper 
and lower chamber, or the left auricle and ventri- 


6 


cle are constructed in such a way that they can not 
go upwards into the upper chamber or auricle. 

The air and the blood, with their chemical ac¬ 
tivity going on between the mixtures, are com¬ 
pletely shut up in the lower left chamber or ven¬ 
tricle where there is no possible way for either 
mixture to escape in any direction. After some 
fraction of a second a chemical combustion occurs. 
The lower left chamber or ventricle expands to 
the limit with such force that the whole heart 
makes a movement against the chest wall and the 
safety valve between the lower left chamber or 
ventricle and the artery or aorta is forced open 
towards the artery or aorta and by the chemical 
combustion the newly-formed blood-compound 
forces itself into the artery or aorta and the newly- 
made life force, power, or living energy proceeds 
toward its destination, which is to follow the whole 
nervous system throughout the whole body. The 
individual life, force, power, or living energy is 
ruled and guided by God, or Universal Creative 
Life, so that any individual life must shape its 
body according to the particular form of the species 
from which it descends. If the body’s shape and 
form should deviate from the ancestral type in any 
way it must uniformly develop with the present ad¬ 
vancing evolution of the whole creation. If the 
individual life fails to build its own centres in the 
bodily organs in complete harmonious communica¬ 
tion with God, or Universal Creative Life, there 
will be sickness or misery until such communica¬ 
tion is brought about. This is because the indi¬ 
vidual life has not intelligence enough or authority 


7 


to shape its body to its own design and pleasure. 
These are the natural causes for so much sickness, 
riches, poverty, inability, criminality, insanity, 
weakness, sorrow, and misery among the people in 
general, because the individual life has built its 
centres according to its own understanding and 
pleasure regardless of how the relationship or 
correspondence with God, or Universal Creative 
Life is disturbed, or completely disconnected. The 
individual life force, power, or living energy built 
the eyes purposely for communicating with any 
other individual life and as a means of leading and 
guarding the body during its existence on this 
earth. It is not the eyes, the nerves connected with 
the eyes or the brain that sees, it is only the in¬ 
dividual life acting through the eyes. Often peo¬ 
ple with good eyesight look with their eyes at cer¬ 
tain objects, but still do not see them because the 
individual life or thought is attending to or look¬ 
ing at something else. Nearly all so-called sick¬ 
ness or weakness affecting the eyes is a result of 
bodily sickness, weakness and disarranged indi¬ 
vidual life centres rather than a sickness originat¬ 
ing in the eyes except when it is done by direct 
injury. Whenever the individual life centres, 
bodily organs or nerves closely connected with the 
eyes are in any way disturbed in their normal func¬ 
tion, such disturbances will nearly always extend 
to the eyes, but the cause for the disturbances is 
not in the eyes. A normal eyesight is entirely de¬ 
pendent upon the uniform development of all the 
individual life centres and their harmonious com¬ 
munication with God, or Universal Creative Life. 


8 


Where the bodily organs perform their functions 
normally, they will make a strong individual life 
and good eyesight. The individual life force, 
power or living energy, built the ears and 
mechanisms therewith purposely for receiving 
sounds through, when communicating with other 
individual life or receiving any chemical or physical 
sound of whatsoever kind it may be. The ears, 
ear drums, ear channels, and nerves connected 
therewith, or the brain, have no power of their 
own to hear or transmit a sound of any kind from 
any direction, unless the individual life is present. 
Often it happens that one person speaks to another 
and the person spoken to does not hear although 
the hearing organs are in good order, because the 
individual life is attending to some thought, bodily 
work, or is at rest at the time. Seldom are the 
individual life centres so fully developed that the 
individual life is able to attend to two duties at the 
same time and be fully familiar with both. Some¬ 
times injury to the ear drums, or nerves connected 
therewith or the brain will weaken or completely 
destroy the instruments for the sense of hearing, 
but it is more often that the instruments for hear¬ 
ing are weakened and destroyed by sickness, such 
as inflammation or disarranged bodily function 
caused by uncured acute or chronic ailments. The 
individual life’s power for hearing, individual life’s 
chemical or physical sounds is limited to the means 
or instruments for hearing, but is not dependent 
upon the instruments for hearing the sound from 


9 


God, or Universal Creative Life. The individual 
life force, power, or living energy has built some 
nerves or nerve centres purposely for the sense of 
detecting certain odors that are detrimental to the 
individual life’s bodily welfare. The nerves and 
nerve centres for the sense of smell have no power 
of their own to detect odors of any kind, if the 
individual life is not present on the nerves and uni¬ 
formly active on the life centres and in direct com¬ 
munication with God, or Creative Life. If the 
nerves for the sense of smell are weakened or de¬ 
stroyed by injury or sickness the individual life is 
unable to discriminate the odor even if the life 
centres and God, or Universal Creative Life, are 
in harmonious correspondence. The individual 
life, force, power, or living energy has built the 
nerves and nerve centres for the sense of taste for 
some of the chemical constituents in some of the 
mixtures used for the building of the body and 
maintaining the life normally during its existence. 
The nerve or nerve centres are only the instru¬ 
ments. The individual life is able to taste the mix¬ 
tures and decide whether they shall be accepted or 
rejected. The individual life, force, power, or liv¬ 
ing energy built the nerve centres for touch for 
the purpose of protecting and warning the body 
from injurious contact with anything that will ruin 
or in any way endanger the individual life’s bodily 
earthly existence. The nerve centres have no 
power of their own to realize any kind of touch 
if the individual life is not normally and constantly 


IO 


present on the nerves, nerve centres, life centres 
and in harmonious communication with God, or 
Universal Creative Life. The individual life, force, 
power or living energy built the nerve centres, 
nerves and instruments for the expression or com¬ 
munication of different sounds, such as talking, 
singing, etc., with other individual life. The nerve, 
nerve centres and instruments for sound have no 
power of their own to give the sound if the in¬ 
dividual life is not normally present on the nerves, 
nerve centres, life centres and in correspondence 
with God, or Universal Creative Life. The nerves 
and instruments used for giving the sound for talk¬ 
ing, singing, etc., are always the same. The causes 
for so vast a difference in the purpose of the 
sounds expressed by the same instruments, such as 
laughing, crying, swearing, etc., is that some in¬ 
dividual life centres or desires are the commanders 
of the individual life at that particular time. The 
individual life, force, power, or living energy built 
the centres for thinking, that is, if a person ever 
thinks, the individual life does the thinking through 
its life centres. The individual life is the only liv¬ 
ing and thinking reality in a person. Anyone 
answering fairly the following questions will 
easily understand the individual life. What does 
a person mean when he says he thinks? Does a 
person ever commence and complete a thought all 
by himself? Is a thought material, mental, or 
spiritual? Is a thought immortal? Is it the in¬ 
dividual life or the brain that does the thinking? 


II 


Why do people differ in thinking? Is the in¬ 
dividual life and brain different? Why can some 
persons think when they are drunk and others can 
not ? Why will drunkenness give some people 
happy thoughts and others sorrow? Has stimulat¬ 
ing substances power over thought, brains and in¬ 
dividual life? Is a thought of any value? The 
individual life, force, power or living energy has 
built centres for reasoning either consciously or 
unconsciously in every person. What is meant by 
saying this or that person is reasoning logically? 
Is reasoning power gained experience, or is it mere 
superstition ? Is reasoning accomplished by the indi¬ 
vidual life, life centres, or both ? Why do people often 
change in their own reasoning from one day to an¬ 
other ? Can any individual life or life centres’ reason¬ 
ing be relied upon ? What is the ruling power when 
a person is reasoning? What should be the rela¬ 
tion of the individual life to God, or Universal 
Creative Life, in sound reasoning? Can the in¬ 
dividual life or life centres make a mistake in 
reasoning? What authority has the individual life 
or life centre for saying its reasoning is right? 
The individual life, force, power or living energy 
has built the centre for the personal will, whether 
that will is powerful enough to rule its own in¬ 
dividual life or so weak that some other personal 
will or wills are the ruler over that individual life. 
The word, personal will, is often carelessly used, 
but what is meant by it? Is the will the ruler of 
the person? What is the relation of the individual 
life will and reasoning? How can it be that some 
peoples’ wills are stronger than others, even when 


12 


their bodies are weak? Is the strength of the 
individual life dependent upon the personal will? 
Why does some individual life and will destroy 
other personal life and will? Why does some 
individual life and will support other life and will? 
Is it possible that some individual life and will can 
be pleased in luxury when other life and will are 
in want ? 


13 


THOUGHT. 

A thought is a part of the life force that goes 
out from an individual with a message of inquiry, 
dictation, wish or aspiration for something or to 
accomplish some work or produce some discovery. 
In any creative work the individual is absolutely 
ruled by one active thought center. This life force 
or thought goes out from the person to God, 
universal creative law, or universal living thought 
for information, approbation, or condemnation. 
Whenever a thought or a life force is sufficient 
and powerful enough, it will carry out the mission 
exactly as communicated by the sender of the 
thought or life force. The individual thought is 
flexible, or changeable, in its communication with 
God, universal creative law or universal living 
thought. 

God, universal creative law, or universal living 
thought is also flexible, or changeable in its re¬ 
ceiving and contributing process toward the in¬ 
dividual thought, according to the strength of that 
individual thought. 

The strength, quantity and quality of a thought 
depends upon the person’s general health, occupa¬ 
tion, age, aim, truthful understanding of the sub¬ 
ject dealt with and the height and circumference 
of all thought centers of that individual. 

In other words the individual thought builds or 
shapes the head according to the health, happiness, 
purpose, desire, longings, understandings, inherit- 


14 


ance, the influence of accepted teachings and con¬ 
trolling system of the community or nation. The 
individual thought centres’ location is alike in every 
person. The vast difference in the thinking 
ability, aim and purpose of all the people, is due 
to the fact that inheritance, long or severe sick¬ 
ness, improper diet, climatic condition, the general 
aim, purpose and accepted theories of the com¬ 
munity are often great hindrances to the fair de¬ 
velopment of thought centres. For this reason 
God, universal creative law, or universal living 
thought, can not communicate and lead them on 
the healthy, happy, satisfying and advancing 
thought road during their time in life. Some peo¬ 
ple are passive in some of their thought centers 
and others are inert from one or another of the 
causes mentioned above. The compulsory influ¬ 
ence, which one individual thought has, in forcing 
its understanding upon another person’s thought 
will last forever if the thought is not understood, 
controlled and regulated by all people. 

The vast difference in opinions among the peo¬ 
ple is an unavoidable condition so long as the 
thought’s origin and completion are not thoroughly 
known and understood by all people. Nearly every 
person is controlled by a few thought centers. He 
thinks these represent his favorite opinion, or he 
is a strong advocate of this or that particular de¬ 
sire, wish, aspiration or longing as the only thing 
that will satisfy him. Furthermore he can not 
understand why every person does not accept his 
opinion as the most valuable of all. 

Really this man has no opinion, he is a slave to 


IS 


one or a few of the thought centers which are 
active in him. Otherwise, if all the thought centers 
were equally active in him he would not be so 
stupid as to wish to compel other people to ac¬ 
cept his opinion as a safe guide for everyone to 
follow and respect as a superior opinion to their 
own. Neither would his opinion have a tendency 
to force itself upon other people, if all his thought 
centers were equally and uniformly active in him. 
In other words his life force dividing itself among 
all his thought centers fairly and uniformly, would 
not be sufficiently strong to control other people’s 
wills or prevent them from being active in their 
own thought centers or discovering that they also 
have an opinion. 

There is a constant struggle between the thought 
and belief for supreme power, as to which shall 
lead and rule in every person. A thought always 
asks for the cause of any action it observes. 

A belief is satisfied with the effect as the cause, 
or any action as the cause. 

A thought in complete harmony with God, Uni¬ 
versal Creative Law, or Universal Living Thought, 
can not make an error. 

A belief is apt to be erring. 

A thought’s strength or longevity, the good or 
evil effect upon the sender, the community or na¬ 
tion, depends upon the strength of the thought’s 
force, the height and circumference of the acting 
thought center, and the height and circumference 
of the assisting acting thought centers of that in¬ 
dividual. 

A person able and willing to think before act- 


i6 


ing, generally inquires about his faults and short¬ 
comings and tries to correct them first before at¬ 
tempting to discover and correct other people’s 
faults and shortcomings, as that is the only way 
truthful thoughts will ever reach God, Universal 
Creative Law, or Universal Living Thought, for 
information, communication and lasting satisfac¬ 
tion. The thought, impulse, or instinct is the only 
real active doer or performer of all good and evil 
on, below or above this earth. 

The instinct is perfect in leadership but is 
limited to certain stages of development of in¬ 
dividual life. The impulse is very dangerous as a 
controlling force, because it is the next step above 
instinct on the road for developing individual 
thought. The individual is often forced to act 
unknowingly or really led and ruled by the im¬ 
pulse. Although that impulse originally was a 
well-planned thought for another person’s selfish 
welfare. Naturally a person caught by an impulse 
and acting according to the dictation of that com¬ 
manding impulsive thought, does not know why he 
does this or that. It may be good or evil. 

The producer of that impulsive thought force 
has sent it out for some missionary duty and it 
can not rest before that duty is accomplished. That 
impulsive thought force can only act through 
human brain thought centers arranged in such way 
that the individual does not object to be a will-less 
tool while the impulsive thought force accomplishes 
what the creator of it commands it to do. 

The impulse is a compulsory thought seeking a 
medium to act through while performing its duty. 


17 


It is very dangerous for a person to be so idle or 
empty in his own thought centers that he will ac¬ 
cept commanding impulsive thought force as a 
dictator or ruler for him. Such person can never 
rely upon his wishes, desires, longings or aspira¬ 
tions because he is not able to demand of himself 
a fair explanation for being displeased with his 
daily duties in life. Otherwise he might be very 
good to himself and the community, if all his 
thought centers were harmoniously active in corre¬ 
spondence with God, Universal Creative Law, or 
Universal Living Thought. He would then be 
active in all his thought centers by planning his 
own present and future and he would never need 
to hang out the sign “here are thought centers for 
rent if anyone will produce thoughts that dictate 
and command what I shall do. As I am not able 
to commence a thought myself I shall be a faithful 
servant to anyone’s thoughts, whether they be good 
or evil for me, for the community or for the 
nation.” Every person is apt to be controlled by 
impulse at one time or another during his life. 
When he is tired, sick, distressed or very happy, 
these conditions will unbalance the equilibrium with 
God, Universal Creative Law, or Universal Living 
Thought. 

Free thought is the next step above impulse. 
Many people pass their time in life not knowing 
that freedom of thought will save the people. Let 
each person produce his own thought in complete 
harmony with God, Universal Creative Law, or 
Universal Living Thought and with intention for 
pleasing all people forever. 


i8 

The individual thought is partly a product of 
material aliment, provided we admit there are ma¬ 
terial substances combined in any part of the 
human body. The individual thought’s condition, 
strength, advancement, durability and stability de¬ 
pend fully upon the harmonious physiological pro¬ 
cess of the human body. 

Any person that is too warm, too cold, too 
hungry, too filled up, too tired, too rested, too lazy, 
too busy, too worried, too happy, too young, too 
old, too poor, too rich, too lean, too fat, too back¬ 
ward, too forward, too sober, too intoxicated, is 
not able to produce a thought satisfying to him¬ 
self, to the community or the nation. 

Naturally the various conditions under which a 
person is able to produce a living, harmonious, last¬ 
ing thought are very few in comparison to the con¬ 
ditions under which he is not able to communicate 
his thoughts with God, Universal Creative Law or 
Universal Living Thought. The response will 
always be the same as his state of being demands. 

What is a thought? 

Where does a thought commence? 

Where is a thought completed? 

Can a thought die? 

Is a thought living? 

Will a thought live forever? 

Is a thought material? 

Is a thought spiritual? 

How do we know if our thoughts are right? 
Who can decide if a person’s thought is right or 
wrong? Why does a person sometimes condemn 
his own thought? 


19 


What power is active more than thought in a 
person? Is thought the only ruling power in a 
person? Can we keep thought secret from God, or 
Universal Living Thought? 

Is God, Universal Creative Law, or Universal 
Living Thought anything else than thought—if so, 
what ? What is the difference between thought and 
soul? Which is the ruler of the person, thought or 
soul? Which is supposed to be saved and cared 
for, the thought or the soul? 

Can thoughts make sin or mistakes? 

Why do people differ in their thoughts ? 

Why are brothers ruled by different thoughts? 

Shall a person control his thoughts? 

Shall the thoughts control the person ? 

Does the person or his thoughts feel? 

Does the person or his thoughts like to give? 

Is the person or his thoughts greedy? 

Does the person or his thoughts murder? 

Why is murder wrong to a human thought and 
not to animal thought? 

What is the difference between thought and will ? 

What is the difference between thought and 
faith? 

What is the difference between human thought 
and animal thought? 


20 


LAW. 

Shall the individual be ruled and guided by God, 
or Universal Creative Law, or by law made by the 
people? God, or Universal Creative Law is immu¬ 
table, or an absolute fixed system that can never be 
changed in any way. God, or Universal Creative 
Law, is that power, force, life or law, by which all 
individual life is ruled and controlled from the be¬ 
ginning to the end of life. When it is in complete 
harmonious correspondence with God, or Universal 
Creative Law r , the life in seeds, plants or trees will 
wake up and come forward even after a long 
winter night of rest. The individual life on the 
animal plane can be restored to activity, even after 
a long winter night of rest, if it be in complete 
harmonious correspondence with God, or Universal 
Creative Law. 

God, or Universal Creative Law has the power 
and knowledge to rebuild and restore to normal 
size, shape and action any organ or part of a 
human body, even if that part be ruined by the 
worst kind of sicknesses, provided the individual’s 
life centers are uniformly developed and his age 
allow the process of the work. God, or Universal 
Creative Law is able and willing to lead and guide 
our thoughts into proper channels, provided our 
thought centers are sufficiently and uniformly de¬ 
veloped. God’s, or Universal Creative Law’s sys¬ 
tem or method in leading or guiding the individual 
is through the thought centers only. This is the 


21 


reason why our thought centers should be suffi¬ 
ciently and uniformly developed. Would a human 
make a law for another human and compel him to 
follow it? 

The desire of some people to make laws for 
other people to be ruled by, seems to be an animal 
instinct inherited and cultivated by the human races 
from the beginning of history and appears to be 
gradually increasing instead of diminishing. Some 
of the great difficulties the conscientious, truthful 
and honest law makers must be familiar with and 
understand how to overcome, before they are able 
to make the law or laws beneficial and helpful to 
every person. The law makers must understand 
the method by which God, or Universal Creative 
Law communicates with every individual, they 
must understand their own thought centers’ rela¬ 
tion with God, or Universal Creative Law; they 
must not be slaves under a few of their own 
thought centers, instead all their thought centers 
should be uniformly active and in harmonious com¬ 
munication with God, or Universal Creative Law, 
otherwise the law they make will be wrong. The 
law makers should have sufficient knowledge as to 
what is meant by a normal human being. Their 
highest aim should be to make the law beneficial 
and supporting to those that are most unfortunate, 
whether it be by acquired weakness or inherited. 
The law makers should make the law suitable for 
relieving and supporting any person that has ir¬ 
regular developed thought centers, and therefore 
unable to have a harmonious communication with 
God, or Universal Creative Law. 


22 


The method by which God, or Universal Creative 
Law communicates with any one and every in¬ 
dividual is through the thought centers; that is 
God, or Universal Creative Law will sanction and 
support any thought centers developed in the in¬ 
dividual, community or nation. This will prove 
that the individual is at liberty to choose which 
of the thought centers he likes to be living and 
performing his daily work in, but according to 
present education and understanding in nearly 
every instance the individual is a slave under his 
own thought centers, whether they harbor good or 
evil desires for himself, his community or his 
nation. A person with strongly developed thought 
centers for murder or destruction, secret, greedy, 
fighting and self-confident, and at the same time 
very ambitious with those desires, will often do 
a good deal of work before he is stopped by God, 
or Universal Creative Law, and often the law of 
the people will respect and honor such a person’s 
work. Another person’s ambitious thought centres 
might be for helping other people and the building 
up of the community and nation, in honesty, truth¬ 
fulness and confidence in God, or Universal 
Creative Law, and he will often do a great deal 
of work before he is stopped by the law of the 
people, who hinder him because he has failed to 
provide for himself so he could live. The above 
mentioned person’s ambitions are seemingly in op¬ 
position toward each other according to our 
present understanding. But do these men’s ambi¬ 
tions really oppose each other, or what is wrong? 
Would it be wise for these men to be acquainted 


23 

with and controllers of their own desires that build 
the thought centres? A child should have an in¬ 
troduction to its own thought centres as soon as it 
is able to understand a demanding of its rights 
in home, community and nation, so it could know¬ 
ingly regulate and control its own desires accord¬ 
ing to the necessity of building all the thought 
centres in a uniform proportion. A child with uni¬ 
formly developed thought centres would be in a 
constant harmonious communication with God, or 
Universal Creative Law, and free from slavery 
under any one or few of its thought centres, and 
such a condition would bring freedom and happi¬ 
ness to the child for the whole lifetime, provided it 
did not deviate from God, or Universal Creative 
Law, in any way and the people did not make laws 
in the community and nation that would hinder and 
prohibit such a child or person from living an up¬ 
right, honest and truthful life. The law of the land 
should be made and applied in such a way that a 
child or person could get the help and support of 
the law and not be prosecuted to the limit, when¬ 
ever the relation is disturbed between the child 
or person and God, or Universal Creative Law. 
Such disturbance is the cause for all the misery 
that does exist for anyone on this earth. Often 
the law of the land is made and applied in such 
a way that it compels a child or person to break 
its harmonious communication with God, or Uni¬ 
versal Creative Law, through the struggle for 
maintaining individual life. Instead the law of 
the land should warn, teach and support any child 
or person to cultivate and keep its own right by 


24 


birth in full evolutive relation with God, or Uni¬ 
versal Creative Law. That would be of most 
value to the child or person, community and na¬ 
tion, and also of most value for the makers of law 
and those who apply it. The necessity is great that 
the law makers are free of slavery from any one 
of their thought centres and absolutely neutral and 
controlling all their thought centres in whatsoever 
requirements are concerned. There would be great 
danger if the law makers were slaves under the 
thought centres of sympathy, or helpful to other 
people. They would make the laws so sympathetic 
and helpful to the weak, needy and ignorant people 
that they would be helped and taught instead of 
prosecuted. Also some great difficulty would natu¬ 
rally follow from law being too sympathetic. The 
people at large would be apt to believe that the laws 
were made by good men and then in trying to prac¬ 
tice sympathy to needy persons, the people would 
develop the thought centres for sympathy and in 
two or three generations the sympathetic thought 
would have a voice in the council of desires in a 
human being. The desire for sympathy would then 
become a reality and not a theory. But if laws 
should be made sympathetic and the thought centre 
developed by every individual, there would be great 
danger that there might not be enough needy 
wronged, robbed, weak, ignorant or sick people to 
receive help because the development of the sym¬ 
pathetic thought centres by all people would be 
sufficient to relieve all sickness and want of every 
kind. There would also be another dangerous 
proposition confronting the law-makers’ earthly 


25 


ambition, if the sympathetic thought centre was 
ruling in the making of the law. 

Law making would then become a thing of the 
past, as the people would then be ruled and taught 
by God, or Universal Creative Law, and the law 
makers could get some time of leisure for their 
own pleasure. The law makers should have suffi¬ 
cient knowledge as to what is meant by a normal 
human being, that is, if there are normal human 
beings, and the law should be made in such way as 
to support them in their truthful, earnest existence 
and not in any way to hinder their ambition, as 
those normal human beings, through the compul¬ 
sion of the community and national law, might be 
irregular in their thought centres and break their 
uniform harmonious communication with God, or 
Universal Creative Law. The normal human be¬ 
ings are really the pillars of the community and 
nation, although they are scarcely recognized when 
seen. The law makers’ highest aim should be to 
make the law beneficial and supporting to those 
that are most unfortunate, whether it be by ac¬ 
quired or inherited weakness. The real cause for 
all weakness, sickness or ignorance, whether ac¬ 
quired or inherited, is the irregular development of 
the individual thought centres. If a person has a 
strongly developed thought centre for acquisitive¬ 
ness, or, in other words, makes his highest ambition 
to gather into his possession the money or means 
on which the people of the community and nation 
are depending for their existence, he is dangerously 
sick and the law of the land should have sufficient 
knowledge and power to take care of him and give 


26 


him education about his own thought centres’ 
irregular development and the need for him to 
come into a uniform harmonious communication 
with God, or Universal Creative Law. That would 
be the only way to be free from slavery under any 
one or few of his thought centres. A person suf¬ 
fering under the thought centre of acquisitiveness 
or so-called successful business mania, should be 
handled very sympathetically and helped by the law 
of the land, as his sickness, whether acquired or 
inherited, is generally deep seated or chronic and 
can very easily be communicated to the present gen¬ 
eration, because the people at large begin to fear for 
their necessary means of existence when they see 
and hear someone who has the authority to set the 
price for their labor power and also to set the price 
upon the necessary means which they must have for 
maintaining life and the law of the land sanctions 
such authority. Such sickness, as slavery under 
the individual thought centre of acquisitiveness or 
successful business mania, has often extended into 
severe epidemics and is - being communicated to 
future generations with still more virulent power. 
Therefore, the law of the land should do all in its 
power to have such a person permanently cured, or 
if it is too late to cure him, it should isolate him 
for the welfare of the present and the future gener¬ 
ations. A being is human only when he is in uni¬ 
form communication with God, or Universal Crea¬ 
tive Law, with all the individual thought centres at 
the present time in evolution. A person who is a 
slave under the individual thought centre acquisi¬ 
tiveness, or so-called successful business mania, 


27 

has no opportunity to develop the human thought 
centres, as no man can live on two planes at the 
same time. This should be understood by the law 
makers so that the law could be made in such way 
as to check, teach or warn the individual that is a 
slave or ruled by any of his thought centres and so 
protect the people at large from such an individual. 
Law makers should earnestly aim to make laws to 
support and educate those people that have nearly 
all their thought centres on a lower scale than the 
present time of evolution demands. This would 
allow the full uniform harmonious communication 
with God, or Universal Creative Law.

MISTAKES OR SINS. 

Can mistakes or sins be forgiven? 

The story that God, or Universal Creative Law, 
is able and willing to forgive sins or misunderstand¬ 
ings is the most unpardonable utterance that ever 
has been spoken by the tongue of man. Because if 
God, or Universal Creative Law, could be changed 
according to the wishes and longings of the people, 
then God, or Universal Creative Law, would have 
to be changed every second or fraction thereof, so 
as to be able to please every person in his imaginary 
inspired dictation, or, in other words, in his ignorant 
animal selfish calculation which is struggling to take 
advantage of other persons’ ignorance whenever 
possible. 

Many people have lost control of their own 
thought or mind by praying to God, or Universal 
Creative Law, too much. Why did not God, or Uni¬ 
versal Creative Law, forgive these people their mis¬ 
understanding or sin, and let them rule their own 
thought and thereby save them from compulsion of 
other peoples’ thought or from the insane asylum? 
Did God, or Universal Creative Law, not like to be 
so earnestly prayed to or could he not forgive a 
person whose devotion was so sincere as to cause 
him to neglect something else, or has God, or Uni¬ 
versal Creative Law, no power over the individual 
life? 

Some people seem to be pleased in relieving other 
people all they can. They even go so far in their 


29 


philanthropic work that they have to spend the last 
days of their life in the poor-house. The reason 
they land in the poor-house, or starve to death, is 
due to the fact that they are so earnest in philan¬ 
thropy that they forget to provide enough for them¬ 
selves to exist upon in sickness and old age. 

Why did not God, or Universal Creative Law, 
forgive these people their misunderstanding or sin 
by saving them from misery and the poor-house on 
account of the good work they did while in health 
and power? Or shall we call what does come to 
them a Godly reward for a good philanthropist? 
If God, or Universal Creative Law, is petitioned for 
anything in harmony with him, such petitions are 
answered. All good petitions are aspirations for 
our true welfare and must come from God, or Uni¬ 
versal Creative Law. Why does not God give to all 
people the right, true and honest desires, aspirations 
or wishes that they may petition him in a proper 
manner, or, in other words, so that he might be 
influenced to take care of all people? 

If God, or Universal Creative Law, will accept 
intercession, that is, that one person pray for 
another and God, or Universal Creative Law, will 
fulfill the request of the praying person and thereby 
take care of the one prayed for, then those able to 
pray who carelessly neglect to pray for others 
should be punished. 

If the words sins or mistakes were properly 
understood in our daily thoughts and actions it 
would be enough to bring salvation and happiness 
to all people. 


30 


A person commits one of the greatest sins or 
mistakes when he is real tired from overwork and 
does not take rest. 

God, or Universal Creative Law, cannot forgive 
such sin or mistake, whether it be temporary or 
kept up for some time, because God soon puts his 
seal on such a sinner and begins his prosecution by 
bending the head and back with severe pains vari¬ 
ously named, and sometimes shortening greatly the 
individual life. 

Often the individual has no means of existence 
except by overwork for a simple living. 

But God, or Universal Creative Law, cannot make 
any excuse for the individual to be in disharmony 
with it, whether it be compulsory from the commu¬ 
nity's system of ruling or direct intentional viola¬ 
tion of the creative law by the individual. 

A person does one of the greatest sins against 
God, or Universal Creative Law, when he does not 
get the necessary exercise for his body so as to 
keep the highest pitch of normal action day by day. 
That is, if a person select some special work that 
calls only for the attention of the thought (with the 
presence of the body), it will unbalance the indi¬ 
vidual health and happiness gradually if the body 
does not get a part of the day’s exercise. 

This exercise should consist of useful supporting 
work for the community, because there are many 
persons in the community who are compelled to do 
only bodily work, which also is a violation to God, 
or Universal Creative Law. If those great sinners 
could get an opportunity for atonement with God, 


3i 


or Universal Creative Law, and do useful, respect¬ 
able bodily work in the community, that would re¬ 
lieve the congestion of the community’s bodily over¬ 
worked people, and it would at the same time give 
rest to the mentally overworked. If this could be 
arranged then there would be very few sinners. 


32 


MISERY. 

WHAT IS THE REAL CAUSE OF ALL MISERY AMONG 
PEOPLE ? 

It is a personal, community or national misdirect¬ 
ing and misunderstanding of thought. The only 
active ruling forces or powers in a person, commu¬ 
nity or nation are instinct, impulse and thought. 

The person, community or nation that under¬ 
stands, balances, controls and advances thought, 
will have very little sickness, misery or aches of any 
kind. 

If a person, community or nation favor a special 
line of thought so as to accomplish a certain object, 
he or it will naturally neglect some necessary valu¬ 
able thoughts which should be in constant touch 
and harmony with God, or Universal Creative Law. 
That is the primary cause of the struggle, worry 
and misery among people. God, or Universal Crea¬ 
tive Law, could not be changed to harmonize with 
the people’s thought; but the people’s thought can 
be regulated so as to be in harmony with God, or 
Universal Creative Law. 

A person, community or nation with desires, 
wishes and aspirations to get something that really 
belongs to other people, will be a slave to these 
desires, wishes and aspirations when trying to sat¬ 
isfy them. The things may be of very little value 
that cause the person, community or nation to be¬ 
come thieves; but the danger of allowing these ani- 


33 


mal desires, wishes and aspirations to rule the 
human desires is the most evil. 

The person’s, community’s or nation’s offense to 
the people robbed is very slight; but the impressive 
satisfaction upon the person’s, community’s or na¬ 
tion’s thought centres will try to stimulate him or 
it to watch another opportunity to rob and if pos¬ 
sible more next time, as any thought or action 
respected by the owner will reinforce itself until the 
producer select some added desire, wish or aspira¬ 
tion. 

The person, community or nation communicating 
with God, or Universal Creative Law, in his or its 
own thought by trying to misconstrue and rob other 
people of honor or valuables, will use the best intel¬ 
ligence for satisfying the desire, wish and aspira¬ 
tion which tends to ruin and destroy the peace and 
happiness of other people. 

Such thought tending to ruin other people’s 
peace and happiness also brings worry and destruc¬ 
tion to the producer of it. 

The person, community or nation with highest 
ambition to make misery for other people is sever¬ 
ing his or its human thought centres relation with 
God, or Universal Creative Law, in such way that 
only the animal thought is there active and the time 
is limited to such person, community or nation; as 
his or its own thought’s action upon God, or Uni¬ 
versal Creative Law, will react and extinguish the 
individual life of such person, community or nation, 
as the animal thought is limited to the animal plane 
and can go no further. 

The person with desire, wish and aspiration to 


34 


watch and punish other people’s weakness, ignor¬ 
ance, misunderstanding and inability to live their 
life according to the law of the community, believes 
he does these mentally and physically sickly people, 
the community, himself, God, or Universal Creative 
Law, the best service possible when trying to get 
these weak, ignorant (and to God, or Universal 
Creative Law), unbalanced people hampered and 
punished for their mistakes and ignorance. He is 
oblivious of the fact that these mistakes are due to 
the lack of the community to deal fair with them 
and with their forefathers. Such a person gener¬ 
ally admires and is proud of his work. The com¬ 
munity also considers such person honorable, justi¬ 
fiable and even titleable for his good work for the 
community’s welfare; but this man is often a crimi¬ 
nal offender to God, or Universal Creative Law, to 
the present and future generations, although it is 
not understood for the time being, otherwise that 
man would try to discover his own weakness, ignor¬ 
ance and inability to be in touch and harmony with 
God, or Universal Creative Law. 

If he were in touch with God, or Universal Crea¬ 
tive Law, his ambition would be to relieve, overlook 
and teach weaklings, ignorant wanderers from God, 
or Universal Creative Law, because it is that law 
which really this class of people are in disharmony 
with more than with the community’s law. 

Such a person is a producer of misery for the 
present and coming generations, because in his own 
thoughts he tries to magnify other people’s ignor¬ 
ance, mistakes and weakness with the desire to pun¬ 
ish them to the limit of the community’s law. 


35 

As his object is to crush individual life in its 
struggle for existence, he is exercising only animal 
thought and in so doing disconnects the human 
thought centres with God, or Universal Creative 
Law. 

Such thought or prayer from a person to God, or 
Universal Creative Law, such answer or reaction 
from God, or Universal Creative Law, is bound to 
come to the person or community according to the 
strength of the thought or prayer. The misery 
originating within the family is mostly due to the 
fact that thought is not understood, regulated and 
controlled in a proper manner by one or more mem¬ 
bers of the family. 

One might commence to look for the other’s faults 
with such great ambition that there is no time left 
to look after one’s own faults and mistakes and at 
the same time be very busy in the thought of how 
to best reform the other, so as to get the other 
perfect to the one’s expectation in every way. If, 
however, the one would use half of the time and 
energy spent in discovering the other’s faults and 
mistakes to discover his own faults and mistakes, 
he would then only discover half of the other’s 
faults and mistakes and probably be able to discover 
his own half. The one then subtracting the one’s 
faults and mistakes discovered from the other’s faults 
and mistakes discovered, the remainder would 
probably be slight and if some remainder were left 
it might be of the one’s own faults and mistakes, 
and if so it would be better that the one corrected 
his own faults and mistakes first. This would save 
time, worry and misery for both. 


36 

The teaching that religion is a complete standard 
of absolute unquestionable truth for all people 
alike is one of the largest factories or institutions 
for manufacturing misery. Some people are too 
religiously inclined and so devoted to God, or Uni¬ 
versal Creative Law, that they really neglect them¬ 
selves so far as their bodily health and the necessi¬ 
ties for existence are concerned, because too much 
of their time and energy are used in praying and 
fearing their superior or leader. Naturally that 
will weaken their self-reliance and life centre for 
the bodily health and welfare as a whole. All 
thought and life centres should be equally and uni¬ 
formly developed by each individual, so as to be in 
fair health and happiness. Therefore to encourage 
a person to religious devotion that already is too 
strongly developed in those facilities or desires is 
to bring the person into misery by getting that per¬ 
son further from harmony with God, or Universal 
Creative Law, as some life centres are too high in 
comparison with other life centres, others too low 
for individual life to have health and happiness. 
Such people with strong faculties or desires for 
religious devotion should be encouraged to be more 
active in self-reliance and necessary life thought 
centres that would bring true religion, health and 
happiness to them, as God, or Universal Creative 
Law, can only act through the thought centres that 
are active. All individual thought centres should 
be equally active, then there would be no super¬ 
fluous action by some thought centres producing 
misery for the individual because the other thought 
centres of the individual are inactive. 


37 


That class of people with strong, self-reliant and 
self-respecting faculties or desires are deficient in 
religious devotion and will understand, respect, act 
and care about religious correspondence with God, 
or Universal Creative Law, as mummies, because 
they have no desire or wish for anything higher 
than themselves. Their religious thought centres 
are too low for God, or Universal Creative Law, to 
act through or communicate with them about how 
to develop all the individual thought centres equally 
so that health and happiness will follow them. 
Misery is the result of any person’s neglect to 
equally develop all the individual thought centres so 
as to harmonize with God, or Universal Creative 
Law. 

Such people should be encouraged and taught 
how to develop the religious desire and thought 
centres for the sake of their own welfare, health 
and happiness so as to fortify themselves against 
impending misery, which otherwise will follow if 
they neglect the religious thought centres. 

If such people be taught a certain religious the¬ 
ory and not required to practice the theory it is a 
criminal act, as any person will follow the strongest 
desire in him rather than the theory or beliefs 
which are not understood by him. Naturally such 
people will continue to honor themselves as those 
desires are stronger in them than the religious 
desire, if they be not required to change their devo¬ 
tion from themselves to God, or Universal Creative 
Law, for the welfare of themselves and the com¬ 
munity, as the community is dependent upon all 
individuals concerning its misery or happiness.

CAUSES OF SICKNESS 

Sickness is a condition in which the individual 
life is disarranging its own equilibrium with God, 
or Universal Creative Law, in such way that the 
individual life is uneasy in its relation with God, or 
Universal Creative Law. In other words the indi¬ 
vidual life is not able to be at ease, on account of 
the organs of the body being unable to perform their 
duty harmoniously and normally. The most gen¬ 
eral causes that hinder the organs of the body in 
performing their duty are too much cold, too much 
heat, too much or too little solid or liquid food. 
Aliments or elements are sometimes a support and 
help for the organs in performing their natural 
function. At other times they are a poison depend¬ 
ing entirely upon the general condition of that indi¬ 
vidual. The most severe and lasting causes of 
trouble are irregular development of thought cen¬ 
tres which are often inherited, but can be corrected 
if paid strict attention to in time. The effect of 
food depends largely upon the condition of the indi¬ 
vidual, whether he be too tired, too rested, too 
worried, too happy, too busy, too lazy, too clean, or 
too dirty. In other words, it depends upon occupa¬ 
tion, climatic condition, the ambition for selfish, or 
community’s welfare or ruin, and the changes from 
one season to another. 

A chronic sickness is a condition in which trouble 
has existed so long in the body that the equilibrium 
between the heart’s and nerves’ action is disar- 


4i 


ranged in such way that some of the nerves are 
more active than others. The result is the nerves 
are in atonic condition so far as the uniformity of 
the heart’s and nervous action is concerned. When 
a long severe or dragging sickness has disarranged 
the individual life’s equal distribution to the nerv¬ 
ous action some of the nerves will be too strained 
to act uniformly with the other nerves which are in 
a relaxed condition. 

If acute sickness were cared for properly there 
could be no chronic sickness. A bodily sickness 
cannot long exist before the thought centres are 
irregular in their action and correspondence with 
God, or Universal Creative Law, or Universal Life 
is interrupted. As the uniformity of the individual 
life does not longer exist in that person, neither can 
God, Universal Creative Law, or Universal Life 
respond any differently than the way the individual 
life asks for in its demand. A chronic sickness is 
often corrected so far as the bodily organs are con¬ 
cerned but the disarranged thought centres and 
nerves generally remain in an irregular condition. 

Naturally the atonement from God, Universal 
Creative Law or Universal Life is reacting with the 
same irregularity upon the nerves as the individual 
life does in sickness; that is why chronic sickness 
can seldom be corrected with medicine alone, but 
the sick person can correct the sickness himself if 
he so wish. 

This is the reason some people have periodical 
sickness and weakness aggravated by the changing 
of the weather and seasons. Such sicknesses are 
generally called paralysis, cancer, tumor, rheumatic 


42 


pain, periodical headache, heart failure, low spirits, 
bad humor, tired feeling or the blues. This dis¬ 
organized state of the nerves and thought centres 
is the only germ or tubercular bacilli and the real 
cause for any kind of consumption, whether it at¬ 
tack the thoracic or abdominal region, or any part 
of the extremities. For sickness caused by dis¬ 
arranged nerves and thought centres, whether ac¬ 
quired or inherited, the safest remedy is for the 
individual to get his thought centres uniformly 
active so as to be able to harmoniously correspond 
with God, Universal Creative Law, or Universal 
Life, and receive an equalizing reaction therefrom. 
This is the only possible way for correcting such 
sickness completely and lastingly. It is altogether 
wrong to try to restore the sick or weak part 
otherwise, as it will only aggravate the condition. 
It is far better to leave the sick irritated condition 
undisturbed and try to remove the cause of the 
sickness and to improve the individual strength in 
general, which will then soon equalize the nerves 
and thought centres and any of these sicknesses 
will disappear forever if the age and condition of 
the person allow it. It would be still better to cor¬ 
rect an acute sickness and not let it put its stamp 
upon the person for the rest of his time in life. It 
would also be wise to give the child a fair acquaint¬ 
ance with itself and an understanding of the neces¬ 
sity of a constant friendly relation in correspond¬ 
ence with God, or Universal Creative Law, or Uni¬ 
versal Life, as the only way to have health and 
happiness. 

The causes for acute sickness are so many and 


43 


vary so much in their different operations that it is 
only possible to mention a few of them here.. 

Pneumonia is considered to be an acute, quick, 
severe and sometimes fatal sickness, and it is, if not 
handled with care. 

Pneumonia is often an accessory or secondary 
condition caused by some sickness in the bodily 
organs which weakens them so that they are unable 
to perform their duties normally. This requires the 
lungs to perform work above their capacity, and 
naturally they break down from such overwork. 

The severity and the way the sickness then at¬ 
tacks the lungs depends wholly upon general condi¬ 
tion and age of the person and the duration of the 
previous trouble. 

The relief for such pneumonia (or often abdom¬ 
inal sickness) is impossible to state, as the causes 
are so various. Although the age of the person and 
length of sickness, the equality, height and circum¬ 
ference of the thought centres of the individual are 
the real physicians to decide if the individual shall 
be well or not. That is, a physician should have 
education enough so as to be able to consult with 
the above mentioned directors of the individual and 
to work with them in their struggle for extending 
individual life. The physician calls the sick part by 
a queer name that seems to satisfy both the patient 
and the doctor, as neither seems to care to trace 
back to the cause of the trouble. Remember, all 
sickness is only a broken relation of the individual 
with God, Universal Creative Law, or Universal 
Life. 

Pneumonia, or direct acute inflammation of the 


44 


lungs, is generally caused by the body being ex¬ 
posed to atmospheric or water constituents in such 
a way that these have reduced or disarranged the 
compounds of the blood and the body’s organized 
structure. 

The physiological action in the body of such a 
person is now disorganized through losing or giving 
away some of its necessary elements for normal 
vital action. The equilibrium of the individual life 
is then disturbed and unbalanced in its harmonious 
correspondence with God, Universal Creative Law, 
or Universal Life. The individual is no longer at 
ease or in comfort, because the physiological proc¬ 
ess is faster or too much in a hurry to be pleasing 
in the body, by trying to burn or destroy some of 
the blood or bodily structures that have been dis¬ 
organized by the chemical action of the air or 
water. Pneumonia or fever in the lungs caused by 
acute disturbed physiological action in the body 
means that the lungs are the weakest part of the 
body or that the remedies and auxiliary measures 
used to relieve the disorganized physiological action 
of the body have been misdirected, because the 
lungs should be last attacked by sickness in a har¬ 
moniously developed person. Pneumonia, or fever 
in the lungs, is quick in its action and fatal in its 
results, because the brain or thought centres are 
constantly under too high pressure of the individual 
life. There is no time for relief or equalizing reac¬ 
tion as a rest from God, Universal Creative Law, 
or Universal Life. 

The best remedies and auxiliary measures for 
acute pneumonia or fever in the lungs is to lead and 


45 


direct the fever equally in every part of the body; 
that is, lead the fever to the lower part of the body, 
the legs and feet. This will give at least periodical 
rest from fever for the lungs and brain and after 
a little while the fever will lessen through that 
equalizing and periodical rest. The method used 
for equalizing and directing the fever is that 
another person, man or woman, fairly rested and in 
good humor, hold his or her hands on the top of the 
sick person’s head for a few minutes, then take hold 
of the feet for a few minutes, then the head and 
then the feet and so on alternately. Hold the hands 
on the top of the head and then take hold of the 
feet for five, ten or fifteen minutes at a time, de¬ 
pending upon the severity of the fever. If the 
fever is very high change the placing of hands often 
from head to feet and vice versa. Keep on chang¬ 
ing from head to feet and from feet to head for 
about an hour, then let the sick person rest for a 
little while, then commence again the same way 
by holding the hands on the top of the head and 
taking hold of the feet and so on until the fever is 
over. Always commence to hold the hands on the 
top of the sick person’s head, also when discontinu¬ 
ing the treatment hold the hands on the top of the 
head, so as to leave the thought centres uniformly 
active except in a very high brain fever. In such a 
case it is safer to take hold of the feet last, as that 
will put the fever in the lower part of the body and 
the brain will get a little rest in a reaction corre¬ 
spondence with God, Universal Creative Law, or 
Universal Life. 

In any other fever, except a very high brain 


46 

fever, hold the hands on the top of the head the 
last time of that treatment, as it leaves the thought 
centres uniformly active with God, Universal Crea¬ 
tive Law, or Universal Life. Do not disturb the 
sick person while in a natural sleep with the treat¬ 
ment, as he is then communicating and receiving 
reactive correspondence with God, Universal Crea¬ 
tive Law, or Universal Life. Natural sleep is the 
only medium for restorative power in curing sick¬ 
nesses. The real help the sick person receives from 
the other person’s hands when on the head is that 
the sick person’s thought centres are made more 
nearly uniformly active. The help will be in pro¬ 
portion corresponding to the thought centres and 
the natural function of the bodily organs. This 
will equalize the fever of the body, as all the 
thought centres are correspondingly equally active. 
The holding of the sick person’s feet will relieve 
the thought centres of the fever a little, as the fever 
is then more active in the lower part of the body. 
The thought centres will then receive a little restor¬ 
ative reaction through the fairly normal commu¬ 
nication with God, Universal Creative Law, or Uni¬ 
versal Life. Most people have more or less power 
to relieve pain or fever for another person if they 
go at it in a right way. Medicines well selected, 
directed and indicated are a necessity in any and all 
kinds of physical and mental ailments. As any 
ailment, whether physical or mental, is due to the 
fact that the physiological or mental action has been 
interfered with, either by compulsory chemical 
action, previously mentioned, or by imposing indi¬ 
vidual will action upon another person’s thought 


4 7 


centres in such way that his individual life or will 
must partly subdue or change its course. Such im¬ 
posing interference to the thought, mental action, 
individual will or life always disarranges the physi¬ 
ological action of the bodily organs. Proper medi¬ 
cine is therefore of great value or a necessity in 
restoring the bodily organs to normal physiological 
action as soon as possible. The medicines safe to 
use in pneumonia or fever of the lungs should be 
such as will support the fever and the appetite. 

The sick person should be very abstinent from 
solid and liquid food, even though he has a high 
craving for both. Water is more dangerous than 
food in acute high fever. Very little training would 
be needed for the understanding of medicines suffi¬ 
cient for the relief of pneumonia or fever in the 
lungs, provided the sick individual’s thought cen¬ 
tres or the individual life’s harmonious or inhar¬ 
monious relationship with God, Universal Creative 
Law, or Universal Life, is thoroughly understood 
by the one that selects and directs the medicine. 
Ice on the chest, head, or in the mouth, should 
never be used under any conditions, at least not in 
pneumonia, or fever in the lungs, or in brain fever. 
The ice will only aggravate the fever by its own 
chemical action and produce more disarranged 
blood and bodily structures. Furthermore, the best 
way in relieving severe fever is, as previously 
stated, to equalize the fever in the whole body so 
as to get the restoring reaction through the sick 
individual’s thought centres from God, Universal 
Creative Law, or Universal Life. Such reaction is 
the only restorative, curative or healing process or 
power in any sickness.

DIPHTHERIA. 

Diphtheria or fever in the stomach is an acute 
feverous disease, caused by a slow, sluggish and 
improper action of the digestive fluid and digestive 
organs. A disordered liver is generally the cause 
of such trouble. 

The most general causes for diphtheria are a quick 
severe change in weather from cold, clear and light 
atmosphere to warm, cloudy and oppressive atmos¬ 
phere, or vice versa. The changing from one sea¬ 
son to another has an oppressive or uplifting effect 
upon the human body, which effect often develops 
into a greater or lesser sickness or inconvenience to 
the normal function of the organs of the body. The 
atmospheric constituents are altogether different at 
different seasons. The atmospheric constituents 
demand of the organs of the body a performance of 
their physiological action, according to the combin¬ 
ing power of the elements in the surrounding 
atmosphere. 

This quick severe changing demand of the physi¬ 
ological action in a person, as is often done by a 
changing of the weather and season, is impossible 
for the bodily organs to comply with, because the 
organs are supplied with food and liquid combined 
in such way that the atmosphere’s uniting power 
will disorganize the compound of the blood and 
bodily structures by forcing its own chemical com¬ 
bining affinities upon the physiological process in 
the body. The intruding of chemical action in a 


49 

human body means sickness in one way or another. 
Diphtheria or fever in the stomach extending to the 
throat with a dry, burning and reddish swelling is 
a sickness that mostly attacks infants or children. 
It also attacks adults whenever their bodily exer¬ 
cises and nourishment are such that the function of 
the stomach is heavily taxed by improper solid or 
liquid food in comparison to the atmospheric con¬ 
dition and season. The remedies and auxiliary 
measures for diphtheria or fever in the stomach are 
to follow the same method as in pneumonia or 
fever in the lungs, so far as the equalizing, direct¬ 
ing, leading and controlling of the fever is con¬ 
cerned. That is, let another person hold his hands 
on the top of the head and take hold of the feet of 
the sick person in exactly the same way as de¬ 
scribed in pneumonia or fever in the lungs. The 
fever will soon be under control. 

The sick person should be kept fairly warm, so as 
not to take cold or be exposed to atmospheric con¬ 
stituents that will force their own chemical action 
upon the disorganized physiological action in the 
feverish person. Careful abstinence from food and 
drink should be maintained from the very begin¬ 
ning of the fever until the swelling of throat is sub¬ 
dued and the normal function of the digestive 
organs is restored. 

Milk is the most dangerous food for the diph- 
theretic person, even to the infant, as the digestive 
fluid is weakened by the fever and some of the 
milk substances will proceed directly into the blood¬ 
vessels unchanged and there disarrange the con¬ 
stituents of the blood through their own chemical 


50 


affinity. Some cereal boiled in water and that 
water given as food is far better than milk in very 
severe diphtheria or fever in the stomach. In all 
sicknesses and especially all fevers water should be 
used very sparingly, as it will stimulate the fever by 
weakening the digestive fluid through satisfying its 
own chemical affinity. Medicine should be used 
sparingly and with extreme caution in diphtheria 
or fever in the stomach, as it is apt to aggravate the 
sickness. 

Much depends upon the selection, quality and the 
way the medicine is administered. The medicine 
given should be of such quality that it will support 
the digestive fluid and organs and also with a tend¬ 
ency of supporting the fever by elimination 
through the kidneys and skin. When the fever is 
supported by medicine harmonious to the stomach 
and throat and stimulating to the fever so that it 
will equalize such fever in the whole body, then the 
localized fever and inflammation of the stomach 
and throat will diminish rapidly. Very little medicine 
should be given either to child or adult in such sick¬ 
ness, as the appetite is low, and even the most 
agreeable medicine will often then irritate the 
stomach by weakening the digestive fluid through 
its neutralizing action. The neutralizing process 
will go on by the fever and medicine until the 
digestive fluid is supported by the digestion of 
nourishing food substances for the body as a whole. 

Medicine should be used early and throughout 
the fever, but with a thorough understanding by the 
one that directs and gives the advice for curing that 
stomach fever or diphtheria. The theory that diph- 


5i 

theria or fever in the stomach is caused by Klebs- 
Loeffler bacilli is altogether a mistake, as that con¬ 
dition found in the structures of the throat is the 
effect of the sickness and not the cause of it. The 
bacilli can never be found in the throat in the early 
stage of the sickness. Naturally they are developed 
as a result of the sickness and not as its cause. In 
other words, the structure of the throat will change 
in color and shape from the fever and irritation 
done to it while in sickness. 

Relieve the fever properly and the Klebs-Loeffler 
bacilli cannot develop in the body’s structures. The 
scientific statement that diphtheria or fever in the 
stomach is a contagious disease is a theory manu¬ 
factured by studying the effect of the disease as 
being its cause and not by tracing the effect to the 
cause. If, however, diphtheria or fever in the 
stomach were contagious, why does not that sick¬ 
ness attack all members of the family, house, com¬ 
munity and nation ? 

Why is diphtheria milder in the sickly child or in 
the feeble adult than in a strong and healthy child 
or adult? In what way are Klebs-Loeffler bacilli 
conquered by the antitoxin ? Are the Klebs-Loeffler 
bacilli individually active, or passive decayed dis¬ 
organized particles of the bodily structure? From 
where does the first Klebs-Loeffler bacilli originate 
that attack a child or an adult? How many of 
Klebs-Loeffler bacilli of medium size will be neces¬ 
sary to attack a strong, healthy adult person and 
hold him severely sick in bed for five weeks? How 
many of Klebs-Loeffler bacilli of maximum size are 
necessary for killing a strong, healthy person in five 


5 * 

days? How many of Klebs-Loeffler bacilli of mini¬ 
mum size are necessary to blockade an infant’s 
throat so that it cannot swallow the thinnest liquid 
for half an hour? Why does the Klebs-Loeffler 
bacilli select certain seasons, such as the change 
from winter to spring and changing of weather 
from cold to warm, or vice versa, as their specific 
time for attacking child or adult? Are the Klebs- 
Loeffler bacilli sovereign or can they be controlled 
or ruled by any community, individual, antiseptic, 
aseptic or antitoxic law? What age, size and num¬ 
ber of the Klebs-Loeffler bacilli are the extreme 
limit for their activity in a child or adult, in order 
that a sufficient quantity of antitoxin serum may 
completely exterminate their existence within twen¬ 
ty-four hours?

SCARLET FEVER OR INFLAMMATION OF 
THE KIDNEYS. 

Scarlet fever or inflammation of the kidneys is 
caused by the digestive process being fermented. 
This may occur through some improper food or 
drink, or the changing of weather and season, or 
by whatever interferes with the digestion. When¬ 
ever the physiological digestive process is changed 
by fermentation, that will change the ingredients or 
quality of the blood in such way as to make it 
poisonous to all the organs and structures of the 
body. 

This kind of blood will demand extra work for 
its purification by the kidneys, which are soon in¬ 
flamed and weakened in such way that the blood 
does not eliminate its poisonous substances through 
them. They are not in working order or are over¬ 
worked from the disarranged condition of the blood 
resulting from the ferment of indigestion. The 
fermenting process is now active in the blood until 
a thorough elimination of the impure parts of it is 
accomplished by fever and eruption of the skin. 
The latter is of great value and necessity. The fer¬ 
mented excrement or desquamation of the skin is 
the real ventilation or safety valve for preventing 
explosion or brain fever with convulsions during 
the stage of fermentation in the digestion and the 
blood. 

Scarlet fever or inflammation of the kidneys is 
an acute, severe and, if mistreated, often a fatal 


54 

sickness. The auxiliary measures for scarlet fever 
or inflammation of the kidneys are the use of the 
same method explained for pneumonia or fever in 
the lungs. That is, let another person in good 
humor and fairly rested relieve the fever with his 
hands, as previously described. The sick child or 
adult should abstain from food, both solid and 
liquid, as much as possible, until the fever is van¬ 
ished and a normal physiological digestion is 
restored. 

Milk and water are the most dangerous to the 
fermented digestion and inflamed kidneys. Sweet 
milk is very irritating to the whole intestinal tract 
and vital action whenever the physiological digest¬ 
ive process becomes fermented and the liver unable 
to transform the compound of the milk into a new 
compound suitable to the blood supply and the re¬ 
building of the bodily structure. Milk supports the 
fermentation by its own tendency to ferment in 
free state or by its own ingredients. It has a strong 
affinity for forming new compounds. Milk is one 
of the most sensitive compounds to chemical action; 
that is why it is one of the most poisonous foods 
to a child or an adult, whenever the digestion is 
changed into fermentation. Water should be used 
very sparingly, as it will neutralize the digestive 
fluid to still weaker power in dissolving food prop¬ 
erly and also give to the kidneys (which are in¬ 
flamed from the fermentation of the blood) extra 
work to eliminate the water, which also becomes 
fermented from the disarranged blood compounds. 
Naturally, the water will be stimulating to the fever 
and irritating to the kidneys as it is only an addi- 


55 

tion to the biood supplies, with no power to weaken 
the process of fermentation. 

Beef, boiled together with vegetables and some 
roots so as to make it a nourishing soup, is the best 
food in such sickness, as it will tend to restore the 
digestion through the different ingredients com¬ 
bined in that kind of food. This is a reliable food 
in nearly every kind of fever or other sickness 
where the digestion is lowered or weakened by the 
disarrangement of the digestive fluid. Cereal, 
boiled in water, is the best beverage and often the 
only food for a person with a severe case of scarlet 
fever or inflammation of the kidneys, as it will 
quench the thirst, nourish the body, and does not 
easily ferment. 

Medicine well selected and accurately adapted 
to the sick child’s or adult’s temperament, and also 
with the power to relieve the acute symptoms with¬ 
out irritating and weakening the appetite, digestion 
or kidneys, should be used sparingly at the very be¬ 
ginning of the fermentation and fever and through¬ 
out the sickness. 

There are conditions where it is necessary that 
the medicine be changed quite often during a severe 
sickness so as to be able to meet the unforeseen 
development of the sickness. If proper medicines 
are used and well directed, there can be no after 
effect from scarlet fever, fermentation or inflam¬ 
mation of the kidneys. 


PARALYSIS. 


Paralysis is often a result of chronic ailment of 
the bodily organs. It is sometimes the result of 
overwork or the effect of improper nourishment 
and assimilation of solid, liquid or gaseous irri¬ 
tating substances, with a tendency to weaken and 
lower the functions of the bodily organs and their 
general constituents and the body’s structure as a 
whole; sometimes it comes from overwork, either 
physical or mental, or both. It may be a result of 
a person’s forcing himself to perform more work 
than his bodily structure or mental capacity is able 
to endure. Such severe pressure on the individual 
life will unbalance the harmonious communication 
with God, or Universal Creative Life, in such way 
that the necessary reaction from God, or Universal 
Creative Life, will only respond to the individual 
life center’s own strength. Those individual life 
centers that are forced by the person to the highest 
pitch of activity will receive the same support from 
God, or Universal Creative Life, through that re¬ 
action or correspondence. 

The other life centers, or parts of the brain that 
are not exercised to their highest ability, will there¬ 
fore receive the reaction correspondence from God, 
or Universal Creative Life, with a suppressing 
effect instead of a support in their development, as 
the individual life does not act uniformly upon the 
life centers or harmoniously equal on the whole 
brain. Naturally, the life centers, or parts of the 


57 

brain that are not supported by the individual life 
to the uniform level, will be smaller in size and 
weaker in their function in comparison to those life 
centers or parts of the brain that are momentarily 
under a forced pressure. The reacting correspond¬ 
ence from God, or Universal Creative Life, is al¬ 
ways harmoniously uniform to all the individual 
life centers or all parts of the brain. The result 
is those exercised life centers or parts of the brain 
will develop and expand at the expense of the 
diminishing process of those life centers or parts 
of the brain that are not sufficiently supported by 
the individual life. God, or Universal Creative 
Life, will subdue or crush out any life or parts of 
the individual life, whenever they are not suffi¬ 
ciently supported by the individual life, to be uni¬ 
formly equal to all life centers or to all the parts 
of the brain and able to follow always the con¬ 
tinuous creation. Such exercise or irregular devel¬ 
opment of the individual life centers or parts of the 
brain, previously described, will as a rule follow 
the future generation as a birthright, on account of 
imitation predominating in most of the individuals. 
Paralysis resulting from such causes as above men¬ 
tioned is the most dangerous kind, as it cannot be 
cured except by getting the life centers or all the 
parts of the brain uniformly active in complete cor¬ 
respondence with God, Universal Creative Law, or 
Universal Life. 

Paralysis caused from a temporary bodily over¬ 
exertion, or by some temporary mental overexer¬ 
tion, whether it be speech, song, study, fear or anx¬ 
iety, is a temporary sickness and will cure itself if 


58 

not hindered by poisonous medicines and undue 
excitement. Such paralysis will follow when one 
or only few of the life centers or only a small part 
of the brain is under too severe pressure of the 
individual life, which calls for corresponding re¬ 
action from God, or Universal Creative Life, with 
the same uniform pressure upon all the life centers 
or to the whole brain. The equilibrium of the in¬ 
dividual life is then unbalanced, as some of its cen¬ 
ters or some parts of the brain are too weak or 
inactive in comparison to those life centers or parts 
of the brain that are forced to their highest ability. 
This will make the individual life stagger, as some 
of the life centers or parts of the brain are too low 
and too weak for such action as is required by the 
highly developed life centers or parts of the brain. 

Paralysis or ceasing to act in some part or parts 
of the body is then the only way for the individual 
life to do, so it can be able to be active on the 
highest life centers or parts of the brain. 

Paralysis caused from temporary bodily or men¬ 
tal disturbance, as previously mentioned, is easy to 
cure and often will cure itself if dealt with in a 
proper way and without unnecessary delay. 

Misdirected and poisonous medicine is the cause 
of many paralyzed deformed people, infants, adults 
and aged. Misdirected and poisonous medicine will 
force the individual life to a higher action than the 
ife centers or brain is able to stand for a day, a 
ew days, a week, a few weeks, and even months, 
aut suddenly a relapse and the infant, adult or old 
person is paralyzed. The bodily organs and struct¬ 
ures are overworked from the high pressure of the 


59 

chemical affinity of the charged poisonous medicine 
which can only be carried on for a time, then the 
physiological action of the bodily organs and 
structures is lowered to such an extent that the 
individual life no longer can be uniformly active 
in all the life centers of the whole brain. It will 
be necessary for the individual life to cease its 
action in some of the life centers or a part of the 
brain. A result is paralyzation of a part or parts 
of the body until a normal physiological action is 
restored in the bodily organs and structures. How¬ 
ever, if that normal physiological function of the 
bodily organs and structures is delayed for some 
time, the part or parts paralyzed will decline, as it 
or they are not supported in the same manner and 
power as the parts that are ruled and guided by 
the individual life. Paralyzing effect upon children 
is very rapid and dangerous, as they are growing 
and the paralyzed part or parts most generally 
cease growing and deformity sets in, but if under¬ 
stood and if proper method is used, paralyzed part 
or parts can be restored to normal size and func¬ 
tion just like any other part of that same body, 
provided that the paralyzed child or adult will fol¬ 
low the necessary exercise and precaution. 

Children and young people paralyzed from mis¬ 
directed and poisonous medicine will be restored 
from the paralytic stroke quite easily if the mis¬ 
directed and poisonous medicine is discontinued 
and the paralyzed part or parts put into a complete 
communication with the individual life and God, 
Universal Creative Law, or Universal Life. 

Older people paralyzed from misdirected and 


6o 


poisonous medicine are in greater danger, as the 
individual life is then already in a state of declining 
as a whole, so that the paralyzed part or parts can¬ 
not get sufficient support from the individual life 
to force it or them into harmonious reaction with 
God, Universal Creative Law, or Universal Life. 
After the paralysis has existed for some time it 
is not easily cured, but it is easily cured in the 
beginning of the sickness if proper method is used. 
The auxiliary measures to be used in curing par¬ 
alysis caused by misdirected and poisonous medi¬ 
cine are: Cease to use any medicine whatsoever 
that is in any way stimulating and irritating, with a 
reaction of a depressing effect upon the sick, 
whether it be a child, adult or old person. 

Use some slow acting medicine, harmonious and 
supporting to digestion and all the abdominal or¬ 
gans and structures in their function. If this is 
done, the heart, brain and nervous system are then 
amply able to take care of their functions without 
any stimulation or support. Such stimulation and 
support will only react with a depressing effect 
upon the body in general or individual life. Let 
another person hold his hands on the top of the 
head of the sick child, adult or old person for five 
to fifteen minutes, then take hold of the feet for five 
to fifteen minutes, if any of the lower parts are 
paralyzed, then hold the hands for five to fifteen 
minutes; if either of the hands or arms are par¬ 
alyzed, then hold the hands on the top of the head 
again, then the feet, etc. Take hold of both feet 
and hands, even if only one of the legs, feet, arms 
or hands is affected. The treatment should last an 


6i 


hour or more, depending upon the strength of the 
sick child, adult or old person and the severity of 
the sickness. The treatment shall commence on 
the head and be discontinued on the head except 
in severe brain fever, then it is safer to hold the 
feet last. One treatment, or at most two, in twenty- 
four hours should be sufficient in such sickness in 
the beginning of the sickness, and not so often after 
a fair improvement is noticed. Never disturb the 
sick child, adult or old person’s natural sleep with 
the treatment. 

If severe headache is present, then keep up the 
treatment until a natural sleep is possible. The 
headache will completely cease whenever the di¬ 
gestive and abdominal organs and structures are 
in normal order and the individual life uniformly 
active upon all the life centers or whole brain. 
The reaction from God, Universal Creative Law, or 
Universal Life, will then cure the paralyzed part 
or parts, according to the strength of the individual 
life. There will be no after effect from this kind 
of paralysis if the sickness is taken care of in time 
and proper method and medicine used. Such par¬ 
alysis as previously mentioned could never happen 
if the digestion and all the abdominal organs and 
structures are in complete order and able to nor¬ 
mally perform their function. The necessary medi¬ 
cine, therefore, will be the help and support of the 
digestion and all the abdominal organs and struc¬ 
tures in their struggling effort to perform their 
duty. The diet in such paralysis depends entirely 
upon the age and temperament of the sick person. 

Auxiliary measures for paralysis caused by tern- 


62 


porary bodily or mental overexertion are very slight. 
It is a sickness that will cure itself with very little 
outside help if the sick person only takes the neces¬ 
sary rest as a whole and ceases for a time that part 
of exertion which unbalanced the individual life’s 
uniform communication with God, or Universal 
Creative Life. Use the same method as previously 
explained for the paralysis from misdirected and 
poisonous medicine; that is, let another person with 
his hands support the sick person’s life, so it will be 
uniformly active on all the life centers or the whole 
brain. This will give the sick person’s life a har¬ 
monious communication with God, Universal Cre¬ 
ative Life, which then will react with a restoring 
power upon the paralyzed part or parts. The 
length of the treatment and the time between the 
treatments depends upon the age of the sickness 
and the condition of the sick person. The medicine 
and diet for such sickness depends entirely upon 
the age and temperament of the sick person. 

The auxiliary measures for curing paralysis 
caused by chronic ailing of bodily organs or hered¬ 
itary are so various and so changeable that they 
can only be partly explained on account of their 
great variety. In restoring paralysis caused by 
chronic ailing of some bodily organ and the struc¬ 
tures, the proper method is to relieve and support 
the ailing organs or structures with proper medi¬ 
cine. Then if the life centers or whole brain is not 
uniformly active or some life centers or parts of 
the brain are in a depressed condition, then force 
the individual life to raise the depressed life cen¬ 
ters or parts of the brain, or, in other words, see 


63 

that all the life centers or the whole brain are in 
direct communication with God, or Universal 
Creative Life. The best method to be used is the 
same as for restoring the paralyzed part or parts 
caused by misdirected medicine, that is, let another 
person support the sick person’s life with holding 
his hands on the top of the head and take hold of 
the feet, etc. But this kind of paralysis is more 
difficult to cure. The helper should know what is 
meant by a uniformly active brain, so he could be 
able to help to raise the depressed life center or 
parts of the brain. Also, the sick person, when 
able, should have some heavy exercises with the 
paralyzed part or parts and with the whole body, 
so as to develop a stronger individual life. The 
exercises should be often changed, as a sick person 
easily forms fixed habits and it is difficult to change 
them. The treatment should be continued and 
given often until the sick person is completely 
restored. 

Whenever improvements are noticed, unless it 
takes a very long time to raise the depressed life 
centers or part or parts of the brain to the uniform 
level of the highest life centers or parts of the 
brain, then it is better to let the sick person do some 
physical and mental exercises in such way that all 
the life centers or whole brain and all the parts of 
the body are equally active. Such exercises will 
build a stronger uniform individual life. The 
treatment will help to force up the suppressed life 
centers or parts of the brain. 

The treatment, then, should be given less often 
when compulsory exercises are necessary to be 


64 

practiced by the sick person. Auxiliary measures 
for curing paralysis from hereditary causes are: 
Use the same method as described for paralysis 
caused from chronic ailing bodily organs or struc¬ 
tures, with the exception that the sick person is 
given an understanding of what life centers or 
parts of the brain he need develop with his thoughts, 
so as to be able to raise uniformly the individual 
life. Electricity should never be used in curing 
any kind of paralysis, as it has without doubt done 
more injury to paralyzed people than it has helped 
in restoring them to health. Electricity is not able 
to raise depressed life centers, or parts of the brain, 
but it will increase their depression. 

Electricity is of great value in taking human life, 
but it is not able to extend individual life. 

Rheumatism, or acute or chronically inflamed or 
weak kidneys, is most generally caused by the in¬ 
dividual being exposed to cold or wet, and the fact 
that the effects of the cold or wet are not driven 
out of the body soon enough by proper medicine 
so as to rid the body of the disarranged chilled 
blood and structural substances through the elimi¬ 
nating channels. The cause of such sickness is that 
the cold or wet effect upon the body is allowed to 
remain in the body until the constituents of the 
blood and body organs and structures are changed. 
This gives extra work to the kidneys in eliminating 
the disarranged physiological substances from the 
blood. The kidneys soon are inflamed and unable 
to perform their duties. A chemical action begins 
to be active in the body’s structures on account of 
the fact that there is a chemical reaction in the 


65 

blood resulting from the foreign substance remain¬ 
ing in the blood since the effect of exposing the 
body to the cold or. wet. 

Whenever a chemical action commences in the 
bodily organs or structures there is pain; this kind 
of pain from such causes is called rheumatic pain, 
and really it is rude sometimes in the beginning 
of sickness while the individual life centers are 
fairly active, but there are dopes on the market 
fully able to kill or subdue the individual life cen¬ 
ters, and then we believe the rheumatic pain is 
diminishing. It is rather the individual life cen¬ 
ters that are weakened in their communication with 
God, or Universal Creative Life. 

The individual is partly relieved of his senses so 
far as to know where the chemical action is going 
on in the body, but the chemical action may still 
be going on in the bodily organs and structures. 
That is the reason why rheumatism is one of those 
innumerable incurable diseases. 

This additional foreign compound in the blood 
has been called “uric acid,” that is, the uric acid 
found in the urine, but if the uric acid were not a 
part of the blood it could not be eliminated into 
the urine. It is claimed that the uric acid is the 
cause of the rheumatic pain and not the effect from 
the chemical action causing the rheumatic pain. 
This claim is of very little account, as the uric acid 
found in the urine is a development and effect from 
the rheumatic pain, and not the originator of the 
sickness. One reason proves that uric acid is not 
the cause of rheumatic pain. No rheumatically 
inflamed person has ever swallowed uric acid or 


66 


had it injected into his body, but the miserable uric 
acid is there. How did that uric acid come into 
the body, if it was not a disarranged physiological 
compound of the blood and a disarranged physio¬ 
logical function of the bodily organs and struct¬ 
ures ? The cause for changing of weather and sea¬ 
son and the cause for rheumatic pain seem to be 
closely related to each other, as a rheumatic pain 
afflicted person is always able to tell ahead of time 
of a change in weather. He is more trustworthy and 
reliable than any thermometer or barometer. The 
reason why a rheumatic pain afflicted person will 
be notified about the changing in weather earlier 
and more accurately than the thermometer or ba¬ 
rometer, is due to the fact that the chemical ele¬ 
ments set free through the chemical combustion 
that caused the change in weather will seek their 
affinities from disarranged physiological compounds 
sooner than from any stable chemical compound. 
Any organized physiological compound, organs, 
structures or body that once has been invaded 
through a chemical action, by some chemical ele¬ 
ments in free state, will always be disturbed and 
uneasy whenever the chemical elements with strong 
combining power are set free from the cause of 
changes in weather and season, until a normal and 
harmonious uniform physiological activity is re¬ 
stored in that compound, organs, structures or body. 
A person suffering from rheumatic pain for some 
time or when the sickness has become chronic is 
canceling his communicating reaction from God or 
Universal Creative Life daily, because of his inabil¬ 
ity to force the individual life to the highest pitch of 


67 

activity. The result is the life centers are lowered 
and the general strength subsides gradually even 
if dopes or pain killers are not used; but if the lat¬ 
ter are used the declining of the life centers is very 
rapid and the individual life sinks just as fast as 
the chemical action intrudes or rheumatic pain and 
deformity increases. 

Some auxiliary measures for preventing and cur¬ 
ing acute and chronic rheumatic pain are to restore 
the person exposed to cold or wet, as soon as time 
and conditions allow, to normal state of health that 
would never disarrange the individual life centers 
or correspondence with God, or Universal Creative 
Life. If this were done, the acute rheumatic pain 
would be very slight and the chronic rheumatic 
pain could never be, so long as the harmonious re¬ 
lation were uniform and active between God, or 
Universal Creative Life. It nearly always takes 
two parties to decide if chronic rheumatic pain in 
any person shall exist or not. 

The first party is the sick person, who should 
call for help whenever the physiological activity is 
in any way rebelling or unable to be at ease, what¬ 
soever the causes may be, if he is not able to 
modify or rectify the disturbance himself. The 
second party should be the physician or adviser, 
who should be able to give the proper medicine and 
advise in such a way that the sickness would be 
relieved correctly without any after effect; he 
should also be able to understand the relationship 
between the sick person’s life centers and God, or 
Universal Creative Law. If the sick person’s life 
centers are not harmoniously and uniformly active, 


68 


then he should be enlightened in what to do, so as 
to be in perfect tone or communication with God, 
or Universal Creative Life. Health never could 
exist in any person unless he responded to the de¬ 
sign and shape which is required by God, or Uni¬ 
versal Creative Life, from every individual on this 
earth. A person sick from rheumatic pain, whether 
it be acute or chronic, can be relieved and com¬ 
pletely restored with the help of proper medicine 
and by letting another person support the sick indi¬ 
vidual life with his hands in somewhat the same 
manner as explained for paralysis. The exact 
method could not be stated directly, as the cause 
and age of the sickness and the age and tempera¬ 
ment of the sick person has to be taken into con¬ 
sideration. In the acute stage follow the general 
rule and the sickness cannot very well become 
chronic. 


69 


CONSUMPTION. 

Consumption, tuberculosis, or wasting away of a 
part, parts or the whole body, is more of a com¬ 
munity and national weakness and misunderstand¬ 
ing than an individual sickness. The causes for 
consumption, tuberculosis, or wasting away of a 
part, parts or the whole body of a child, adult or old 
person are so many and various that only a few 
of them can possibly be mentioned. Some of the 
primary causes are: occupation, diet, physical or 
mental overexertion, insufficient physical or mental 
exercise, uncured acute or chronic sickness, inher¬ 
itance. Occupation, or a person’s daily work, will 
often injure or ruin the health, that is, too many 
hours’ work in twenty-four hours, so the bodily 
organs and structures have not enough time to 
rectify or reorganize for harmonious correspond¬ 
ence with God, or Universal Creative Life. Im¬ 
pure atmosphere where the work is performed will 
make a steady depression upon the respiratory and 
digestive organs and a gradual diminishing of all 
the body’s structures. The work often is more 
strenuous than the body or mental capacity is able 
to endure and still be in equilibrium and tone with 
God, or Universal Creative Life. 

A person’s diet is of great importance, as it often 
occurs that the using of certain kinds of food, 
drink, or the smoking or chewing some substances, 
that are detrimental to the body’s general health, 
will act as an irritant to some of the bodily organs 


70 


and structures and after using it for some time 
the vitality or the health of the whole body is in 
a declining state, because the substances used dis¬ 
organize the body’s physiological compounds. 

Other causes of consumption are physical over¬ 
exertion, or some bodily work that requires the 
body’s activity to such an extent that it is not able 
to relax itself during the time it is at rest. The 
time for relaxing or recreation is not sufficient to 
get the body in tone or correspondence with God, 
or Universal Creative Life. The result is the body 
will hold its strained fixed position it takes on while 
performing the work, as some of the bodily organs 
or structures are not allowed free movement dur¬ 
ing the severe exertion. On that account they will 
gradually diminish and those organs or structures 
exercised will increase. The body’s organs and 
structures are no longer in uniform communication 
with God, or Uninversal Creative Life. Sickness, 
lowered physiological activity or wasting away is 
certain to commence in such a body. 

Mental overexertion, or work for the thought 
that will hold a forced attention of the thought on 
only one or a few life centers, is a detriment to the 
individual. This one or few life centers that are 
strained to the highest pitch of activity are at the 
expense of the other life centers’ inactivity or wast¬ 
ing away in the same individual. The result is the 
bodily organs and structures that are directly con¬ 
nected and supported by these individual life cen¬ 
ters will diminish and waste away as the uniform 
communication with God, or Universal Creative 
Life, no longer exists. Then some life centers and 


71 


parts of the body are active and in a strained con¬ 
dition and some of the other life centers and parts 
of the body are inactive and in a relaxed condition, 
such condition of the body will soon commence a re¬ 
bellion in the physiological function of the bodily 
organs and structures, and the wasting away of such 
an individual will follow. Insufficient bodily exer¬ 
cise, when an individual is daily leisurely passing the 
time away without any bodily exertion, will be a 
detriment or a hindrance for the individual’s gen¬ 
eral health, as no organs or structures in the human 
body will come up to or hold their normal strength 
and function unless they be forced and supported 
to do so. 

Often a person will rob his ancestors of their 
earnest work which they performed by their truth¬ 
ful labor when developing a strong, healthy body 
for themselves and the future generations. A per¬ 
son leisurely passing his time without any bodily 
work or exercise is doing injustice to himself and 
the community for the present and future time, as 
the bodily life centers of such a person will decline 
on account of the non-support to the uniform indi¬ 
vidual life centers of its owner, who is passing his 
time in leisure with idle pleasure. 

Insufficient mental exercise, caused through com¬ 
pulsion to too heavy manual labor forcing one to 
neglect to be active or develop the human faculties 
or life centers, will keep him in a suppressed con¬ 
dition, since enlightenment from the human plan 
can never reach him, while some of the life centers 
are completely passive or inert, and such a condi¬ 
tion of the human faculties or life centers will 


72 


weaken the strength and function of the bodily 
organs and structures; the result is the individual’s 
general health is lowered and part or parts of the 
whole body will decline or waste away. A person 
compelled to such heavy bodily work that the whole 
individual life force is utilized for the bodily ex¬ 
ertion will be deformed and lacking in human de¬ 
velopment and the uniform communication with 
God, or Universal Creative Life, is disarranged or 
irregular, the function of the bodily organs or struc¬ 
tures is lowered and the general health declines, 
and at last the wasting away of a part, parts or the 
whole body will follow on account of the individual 
life force being too weakened from the non-sup¬ 
port of some necessary life centers. Uncured, 
acute or chronic sickness will disarrange the func¬ 
tion of the bodily organs and structures. It will 
also make irregular action of the life centers, and 
the uniform communication with God, or Universal 
Creative Life, will not exist any longer, because 
the body’s general health is then lowered and a part 
or parts or the whole body will decline and waste 
away. 

Inheritance or birthright is a condition in which 
the child’s life centers generally imitate its parent’s 
life centers in strength or weakness. That is, the 
parents develop some life centers more powerfully 
than others and such development will follow the 
child. The parents with irregular developed life 
centers will break the uniform relation and utterly 
cancel the harmonious correspondence with God, 
or Universal Creative Life, on account of the fact 
that some of the life centers are forced to the high- 


73 

est pitch of activity and others are through compul¬ 
sion or carelessness neglected. A child from such 
parents will imitate his parent’s life centers and 
strange communication with God, or Universal Cre¬ 
ative Life. A child coming into this world with ir¬ 
regular life centers and a severed uniform communi¬ 
cation with God, or Universal Creative Life, has less 
opportunity to build a strong, healthy body and be 
powerful in controlling and regulating his own 
thought if he is not early helped to come into com¬ 
munication with God, or Universal Creative Life; 
sickness in such a body or mind is bound to come 
in consequence of too weak life centers for both 
thought and some of the bodily organs or struc¬ 
tures. The result will be either severe pain so long 
as the life centers are still active, or when they be¬ 
come inactive a wasting away or consumption of a 
part or parts or the whole body. This may be an 
inherited birthright from the parents, or it may be 
the result of the community’s or nation’s system 
which compels the parents to be overworked physi¬ 
cally or deal with suppressing, fearing, deceiving, 
lying and to themselves ruining thought. In gen¬ 
eral the misery or welfare of the child’s inherited 
property of consumption, or phthisis, depends more 
upon the community and nation than upon the par¬ 
ents. This is because most of the people are ruled 
by the community’s and nation’s law, so far as ex¬ 
istence, believing, accepted science, studying and 
lawmaking is concerned. Unless the individual is 
above all these things in every way, he is to be 
blamed if he is consumed or wasted away before 
the average matured time of individual life in the 


74 

present state of evolution and according to the race 
from which he descends. 

Some years ago the cause for tuberculosis, 
phthisis, consumption or wasting away of the part 
or parts or the whole body was claimed to be some 
peculiar shaped particles only found in the struc¬ 
tures where the normal physiological activity had 
been disarranged by either fever, weakness or gen¬ 
eral declining. These peculiar particles or so-called 
tubercular bacilli or bacteria, resemble the bodily 
structures where they are found, with the excep¬ 
tion they do not respond so readily to chemical 
tests, or in the same manner as other tissues from 
the same part of the body do, that are in harmony 
with normal physiological activity. The space 
these peculiar shaped particles, bacilli or bacteria 
occupy would be vacant if they did not make use 
of it. A basis was established for determining the 
genuine, unmistakable constituents of these peculiar 
shaped particles, tubercular bacilli or bacteria, by 
putting them in some special paint mixture that 
would chemically unite so readily that a strong so¬ 
lution of stain remover could not change the color 
of the diseased painted particles. These peculiar 
shaped particles, tubercular bacilli or bacteria were 
then carefully studied, weighed, measured and 
analyzed. When the world’s critical scientists had 
all been instructed how to saturate some diseased 
particles of human tissue with some chemical stain 
compound that would unite with the particles of 
the human tissue and stay there, and when, further¬ 
more, they had christened these diseased particles 
of human tissue with the name of tubercular bacilli, 


75 


that name was adopted by medical specialists as 
being an honorable one and was decorated still 
further with such names as phthisis, bacteria, or 
wasting away of a part or parts or the whole body. 
A compound has also been discovered, consisting of 
some substances from disarranged physiological 
structures. This compound is supposed to be an¬ 
tagonistic to the tubercular bacilli or bacteria and 
is used as a means of killing them in the sick per¬ 
son or poisoning them in such way that their repro¬ 
duction is impossible. If the real physiological 
process in the human body was known and defined 
by the law of the land, then such methods as in¬ 
jecting a poison into a declining bodily structure 
where the individual life is already crushed or un¬ 
able to correspond with God, or Universal Creative 
Life, would be considered a criminal act. The 
auxiliary measures for curing consumption, tuber¬ 
culosis or wasting away of the body seem impossi¬ 
ble to state, as the causes are so various and the 
age of the sickness and the sick person of such 
extreme difference, therefore it requires knowl¬ 
edge of the cause of the sickness and the age of 
the sickness and sick person, so as to be able to 
use proper method for curing the same. One ab¬ 
solutely correct statement can be given for pre¬ 
venting and curing tuberculosis, and that is that 
the community and nation as a whole must unite 
in raising uniform harmonious thought or life cen¬ 
ters so as to get in complete communication with 
God, or Universal Creative Life, then there cannot 
be any consumption or tuberculosis in any person. 


76 

A FEW QUESTIONS. 

Are the tubercular bacilli consciously active or 
are they physiologically disarranged bodily par¬ 
ticles? If the tubercular bacilli are non-mobile what 
conveyance do they use for their transportation? 
What is the average age for a tubercular bacillus? 
To what extent can the tubercular bacilli stand cold 
weather without getting chills? Do the tubercular 
bacilli take possession of the individual’s body with¬ 
out consent or invitation from the owner of the body ? 
Can the tubercular bacilli be annihilated by some 
high chemical affinity solution when they have in¬ 
vaded a strong, healthy person and he does not even 
know his tenants? Are the tubercular bacilli sub¬ 
ject to a chemical or physical process of activity? 
What is the process and time for reproduction of the 
tubercular bacilli? Why do the tubercular bacilli 
select certain seasons and weather as most proper 
for their business?*

THE STANDARD OF RIGHT. 

What is the Standard of Right among People ? 

The standard of right among people as a whole is 
nothing else than the strongest wishes, desires, as¬ 
pirations and longings in each individual. 

There are some individuals who think it is right 
to ruin their own bodies by misdirecting their own 
thoughts and so creating misery for themselves in 
every way. These people’s thought centers, with 
the desire for destroying their own life, are so 
strongly developed in comparison to their thought 
centers for promoting their, life that naturally they 
act according to their strongest desires or what is 
right to them. 

There are some people whose highest desires are 
to ruin and destroy the lives of other individuals pur¬ 
posely that they might extend their own life. Such 
people are doing what is right to their own animal 
instinct, which naturally is built upon the foundation, 
“Preserve your own life regardless of right or wrong 
to other individual life.” This class of people are 
true and honest to their strongest desires, wishes, 
longings and aspirations. Because their human 
thought centers are not in touch with God, or Uni¬ 
versal Creative Law, therefore, however low and 
brutal their action might be, they could not be 
warned by their own human thought centers, as these 
thought centers are too low for communication with 
God, or Universal Creative Law. If, however, the 
human thought centers were developed to full ca- 


78 

pacity in these people, they would act humanly. 

There are some people whose strongest wishes, de¬ 
sires, aspirations and longings are to take advantage 
of their co-existing fellow-men whenever possible. 
For instance, when employers do not pay their em¬ 
ployees a fair part of what is really belonging to 
them. Also when the employers often are unable 
to deal with the employees with due respect because 
the employers imagine themselves superior to their 
employees. Naturally these thoughts from the em¬ 
ployer produce fear, discouragement, and dread. 
They make a compulsory and antagonistic impres¬ 
sion on the employees’ daily thoughts towards their 
employers. From this divided way of dealing with 
each other in their own thoughts, the employers and 
employees have wandered so far as to really believe 
that one party shall rule and the other must be ruled. 
Neither the employers nor the employees should try 
to rule, compel or deceive. They should never fear, 
hate, ruin or do injustice to each other. Both the 
employers and employees are only temporary instru¬ 
ments which God, or Universal Creative Law, acts 
through. Employers and employees think they are 
doing the right thing toward each other, acting ac¬ 
cording to their best understanding at that time; 
otherwise they would never harbor an unfriendly 
thought toward each other. God, or Universal Crea¬ 
tive Law, can only give what the people call for. 
Hate, and hate will come, Love, and love will come, 
since God, or Universal Creative Law, is like a field 
for seed, it produces what is sown. 

There are some people whose highest ambition is 
to take advantage of other people through the stand- 


79 


ard method, that is by some kind of transaction. It 
may be by the exchange of food, clothing, real estate, 
or any kind of necessity for maintaining individual 
life. 

This class of people are generally called business 
people. They are stifling their righteousness in such 
a way that in most of the transactions neither the 
sellers nor the buyers rely upon each others’ words. 
In other words, the sellers often try to rearrange the 
buyers’ understanding of the true value of the thing 
to be bought, so as to get more for it than it is worth. 
This kind of transaction has been practised so long, 
and is still in vogue, that both the sellers and the 
buyers consider it the only standard of right in busi¬ 
ness. 

Will a community go forward in righteousness if 
the people try to deceive each other ? 

Can a community afford to support some individ¬ 
ual who will not think and act righteously to its mem¬ 
bers? 

How can a community tell if some of its members 
fail to deal righteously with the members of the 
community ? 

Are some people endowed with such superior 
righteousness that they can deal right with God and 
Universal Creative Law and co-existing fellow men 
and still gather up and hold in their possession the 
things necessary for the well being of the members 
of the community? 

What kind of righteousness is prevailing in the 
community when some people must go to the grave 
too early from overwork in their effort to make a 
simple living during their time on earth ? 


8o 


There are some people who claim to know and un¬ 
derstand the righteousness of God, or Universal 
Creative Law, in such a thoroughly scientific way that 
they authorize themselves as representatives of God, 
or Universal Creative Law, to administer to the peo¬ 
ple the ultimatum from God, or Universal Creative 
Law, as to the way in which the people must think 
and act, so as to be satisfactorily righteous to God, 
or Universal Creative Law. 

This class of people are generally called ministers 
of God. They suppose themselves to be doing good 
righteous work when they give their decision as to 
what is right for the people to do and what is not 
right for them to do. These ministers of God use 
their own understanding as to righteous judgment 
when they pass the final sentence upon the people, 
and say that some people shall have eternal happiness 
and some other people shall have eternal suffering. 
There is some suspicion as to whether fair and right 
judgment is given the people by these ministers of 
God. They all use the same supposed infallible 
history. It is a book written by people in a primitive 
age. This history book is the standard statute, which 
all these ministers of God have as their guide when 
judging people. The vast difference in the sentences 
the people get, makes one doubt about the righteous 
infallible statute book, and the righteous infallible 
ministers of God. 

What is it in any person that decides what is right ? 

Does God put the aspiration for right in people ? 

Why do people differ so greatly in what is right ? 

What kind of human desires are necessary to be 
active in order to make a righteous person ? 


8i 


Is God righteous if he punishes some of his chil¬ 
dren and glorifies others ? 

What will a person gain by being righteous ? 

Do we respect righteousness in a person ? 

As a people have we an absolute standard of right ? 

Why is it that the most righteous law governing 
the people must often be changed ? 

Is God’s righteousness changing or the lawmakers 
understanding of right changing? 

Can one person make an absolutely righteous law 
for another person to go by ? 

Is God, or Universal Creative Law, absolutely 
right for a person to be in harmony with ? 

Will God, or Universal Creative Law, change the 
standard of right ? 




82 


WILL. 

The strength and quality of will of a person de¬ 
pends upon the vital, sympathetic, righteous, re¬ 
ligious ideal, causal and self-reliant life and thought 
centers of that person. In other words, it is neces¬ 
sary that all these centers of a person should be sup¬ 
ported so as to be in constant touch with God, or 
Universal Creative Law. Then the will of that per¬ 
son would be a safe guide. 

What do we really mean when we say that a per¬ 
son has a weak will, or has will-power ? 

Suppose a person begins to use some stimulants, 
as a pleasure or soother; his will is soon disturbed 
and it becomes a necessary habit to have the new- 
styled will satisfied. 

The reason we have drunkards is, that the stimu¬ 
lating liquor effect deranges a person with God, or 
Universal Creative Law, by breaking that harmoni¬ 
ous relation and starting a regulation of its own. 
That is why the daily drunkards must take their daily 
drinks, or medicine, so as to keep in peace with their 
new specialized thought centers. In other words, 
this new styled will is active only by the action of the 
person while under the influence of some kind of 
substances with stimulating effect. 

Periodical drunkards are at war with God, or Uni¬ 
versal Creative Law, because some of the thought 
centers are too active in comparison to the other 
thought centers. 

There is always a struggle for supremacy among 


83 

the thought centers of a person, but the individual 
will is supposed to be the dictator, as to which of the 
thought centers shall act. When a person is under 
the effect of some stimulation, his natural will is not 
the ruler, but a will according to the stimulative sub¬ 
stance which is used by the individual and which acts 
upon some organs of the body so as to raise some 
thought centers and to subdue others. Such a will 
naturally is sickly because the stimulative substance 
that arranged it deranged some of the vital organs of 
the body by changing their normal function. 

Such a person seems to meet obstacles in his way 
when the body needs rest. The stimulated will be¬ 
gins to stagger, because of the non-support from 
stimulating substances. Then another period com¬ 
mences. 

A physician often says about his patients that they 
will get well because they have a strong will-power. 
What does the so-called learned man mean by that 
expression, “A strong will-power often overcomes 
severe sickness?” 

In what way are the individual will and the bodily 
sickness related to each other ? 

Why is it that in some people the individual will 
has no power over the infectious, contagious or in¬ 
herited diseases ? 

Are these communicable bacilli authorized to con¬ 
trol the will power in some people and in some peo¬ 
ple the will-power authorized to control the bacilli? 

In some individuals the will-power fails to rule. 
In such cases the community’s will is authorized to 
rule those individuals; but does the community try to 


8 4 

raise the individual will for self-control or to crush 
it? 

The so-called ministers of God often refer to the 
individual will as an independent authority to decide 
whether the individual soul shall be saved or pun¬ 
ished. Do these so-called ministers of God under¬ 
stand the meaning of the words individual will and 
human soul, or are they using words they do not un¬ 
derstand, or do they purposely defraud their honest 
followers; because they wish to make a dishonest 
living by giving to some animal selfish, narrow and 
weak-minded people imaginary certificates for con¬ 
tinuation of independent individual life forever.

85 


EDUCATION. 

Education is such an arrangement of the brain 
structures that the individual life is constantly 
forcing to activity certain centers of the brain, 
where desires, knowledge, scientific experience, 
community’s or nation’s accepted theories, regula¬ 
tions, beliefs, habits, religious or political teachings, 
are located, and communicating these individual 
life center’s learning with God, or Universal Crea¬ 
tive Life. Whenever the life centers for desires, 
knowledge, scientific experience, community’s or 
nation’s accepted theories, regulations, beliefs, hab¬ 
its, religious or political teachings, are trying to 
learn or arrange themselves according to the best 
understanding, the process is quite easy in its op¬ 
eration and a natural physiological construction of 
the brain is performed. But it is very difficult and 
almost impossible for the child, adult or old person 
to be educated to anything and everything, when 
the individual life center or centers are too small 
or undeveloped. The cause of this lack of develop¬ 
ment may be inherited or due to carelessness, or it 
may be due to sickness or to misleading beliefs or 
habits of the community or nation. Often the per¬ 
son is a slave under inherited desires or by a seem¬ 
ing necessity to educate or develop such desires as 
are injurious to the individual’s, community’s and 
nation’s welfare. It seems to be necessary to re¬ 
spect, develop or advocate some desires, although 
the sentiment of the human thought often criticises 


86 


such education. A well-educated person is often 
successful in business transactions and if he has a 
strong desire may be able to control and be the 
owner of the people’s necessaries for maintaining 
individual life in the community and nation. Edu¬ 
cation should be to control and rule the over¬ 
developed desires in the individual. This can be 
done by educating and developing the weaker de¬ 
sires or life centers. 

The law of the land should endeavor to rule, 
guide and educate any person whose desires are 
irregular or not uniformly developed. We respect, 
honor and often idolize a person who has desires 
for being truthful in speech, honest in deals and 
willing to help other people rather than injure or 
ruin them; but we have also found it necessary to 
have some people educated in such way that their 
talking shall be to hide the truth and crush weak¬ 
lings and wanderers instead of raising, supporting 
and educating them. If there is anything wrong 
with our opinion as to developing or educating the 
desires in these different classes, the cause for it 
lies in our own misunderstanding. Often we are 
told and have been taught that the desire for sym¬ 
pathy is a human desire and that we should develop 
or educate ourselves in such way that sympathy 
would be a reality instead of a theory. Practicing 
the desire for sympathy will lead the thought on 
the higher plane and enlightenment from that 
source will come as soon as the development or 
education is accomplished. Some people are born 
with a desire for sympathy and it is their natural 
inclination. Others are not able to develop or edu- 


«7 

cate themselves to be sympathetic because their 
sympathetic life center is too low in comparison to 
their other stronger life centers or desires, which 
rule and guide in their everyday actions. The life 
center or desire for sympathy can never be devel¬ 
oped by education or theorizing. It can only be 
developed by everyday practical knowledge and it 
becomes a reality to the person only when the 
acquired learning is fully understood. Absolute 
facts about the thing studied can be proved, and 
when the individual is able to explain the effect 
such gained experience, whether it is thought, the¬ 
ory or manual labor, will be true lasting knowledge, 
if the individual life centers are in harmonious cor¬ 
respondence with God, or Universal Creative Life. 
Any person studying for complete knowledge will 
find the study easy, if the individual life centers are 
uniformly developed and in communication with 
God, or Universal Creative Life. If the individual 
life centers are irregularly developed, the communi¬ 
cation with God, or Universal Creative Life, will 
also be irregular and learning will be difficult, slow 
and nearly impossible to acquire, as the knowledge 
was never studied from the cause or really under¬ 
stood, on account of the irregular development of 
the life centers. Scientific experience or discovered 
facts are very easy to teach, if the individual life 
centers are uniformly developed and in harmonious 
communication with God, or Universal Creative 
Life. But if the individual life centers are irregu¬ 
larly developed, the communication with God, or 
Universal Creative Life, will also be irregular. 
Educating a person with developed life centers 


88 


about scientific experience, or discovered facts, is 
difficult, slow and nearly impossible, when some of 
their life centers are strongly developed and hold 
their desires or thoughts in some other direction 
than the creation or production of new scientific 
facts or discoveries. The community or nation 
should not force accepted theories to be taught to 
the child, adult or old person, unless the theories 
are in complete harmony with uniform developed 
individual thought centers and God, or Universal 
Creative Life. If the theories are in disharmony 
they will be of great hindrance and detriment to 
the individual, as the child, adult or old person 
might build the thought centers according to the 
theories and thereby break his relation with God, 
or Universal Creative Life. The community’s and 
nation’s methods in educating the child, adult or 
old person are so various and changing that nothing 
exists which can be relied upon as an absolute 
standard of truth, that will not change. The rea¬ 
son why the educational system is constantly chang¬ 
ing is that each of the individual life centers is 
always struggling for supremacy and leadership of 
the person, and the strongest developed life center 
is always the ruler. This ought to give a sufficient 
explanation for the different methods of education 
at various times, although some of the racial tend¬ 
encies of the people may be the same. Therefore, 
if it is true that the methods in education will vary 
according to the development of the individual life 
centers, is it fair to demand that a child, adult or 
old person should be in complete correspondence 
with the present system? Should we respect the 


89 

child, adult or old person if they are a little ahead 
of the present time with some of their life centers 
and cannot accept the present education as truth¬ 
ful ? The community’s and nation’s method in edu¬ 
cating by amusing the child, adult or old person 
with theatrical performances is more likely to de¬ 
grade than educate the capacity of fair human 
thought. The performance’s highest aim seems to 
be to imitate fully some manly, silly or disarranged 
individual thought center’s activity as they are mate¬ 
rialized in one manner or another in everyday life. 
In educating the theatrical performers it is neces¬ 
sary for them to develop themselves with the ability 
to personify any personal action, whether it is good 
or bad, that will make them (the theatrical per¬ 
formers), without any ambition or aim in life so 
far as the building of their own thought centers is 
concerned. They will only watch some individual’s 
strongly developed thought center or centers ruling 
the person, community or nation in some manner 
that deviates from the people’s expectations in gen¬ 
eral. The theatrical performers are people of idle¬ 
ness or non-supporters of themselves or the com¬ 
munity, on account of the fact that their time is 
used for reproducing other people’s thought cen¬ 
ters’ actions, whether it be sane or insane. 

The people of the community and nation must 
necessarily support and care for the theatrical per¬ 
formers, for their kindness in imitating some mis¬ 
erable slaves under their thought center or cen¬ 
ters’ actions, whether such actions belong to the 
past, present or future generations. Most of such 
action would better be never reproduced. The 


90 


method of educating people by the theatrical per¬ 
formers reproducing occurrences, that deviate a 
little from ordinary customary everyday habits, is 
not only very expensive to the community and na¬ 
tion (so far as the money is concerned), but it is 
still more expensive on account of the time it takes 
for the people to watch the production. The play 
generally represents some individual life centers, 
committing a murder, saving a life, or helping the 
needy, or portrays some courtship, the giving or 
taking of a kiss, a marriage at home or an elope¬ 
ment, jealousy, divorce or remarriage. 

In the present time of evolution the people’s 
thought in general is able to learn and understand 
every day’s materializing thought occurrences 
through the medium of language. The reproduc¬ 
tion of how it happened is hardly necessary, as the 
thought center for imagination is fairly developed 
in every person. Furthermore, there is great dan¬ 
ger in educating by reproducing individual life cen¬ 
ters’ extreme action in everyday life. The reality 
must happen before anyone can learn how to pro¬ 
mote or prevent the materialization of any strongly 
developed thought centers, whether they be for the 
welfare or ruin of the person, community or nation. 
If the theater is to be a means of teaching, then 
it is necessary for the community or nation to sup¬ 
ply individuals with developed thought centers— 
that will make unusual actions for the theatrical 
performers to imitate. A person with fairly nor¬ 
mally developed thought centers only care to see a 
theatrical performance once. Naturally, the real, 
manly, silly or foolish performers, actors of every- 


9i 


day occurrences in life, must be very busy, so as to 
get enough new theater plays suitable to educate 
that kind of people, that are unable to learn through 
any other known method. The community or na¬ 
tion educating the child, adult or old person to 
believe some theories as real knowledge, that are 
not understood and satisfactorily explained to an 
honest, inquiring individual with normally or uni¬ 
formly developed thought centers, producing weak¬ 
lings, lunatics and criminals whenever the thought 
center for belief predominates or absolutely con¬ 
trols the individual, then the thought centers for 
reasoning have no opportunity to have their say in 
accepting, soliciting, accomplishing or rejecting the 
everyday necessities for building and maintaining 
the body and thought centers of the individual. Be¬ 
lief will direct the individual to accept any theories 
of a person, community or nation as absolute truth, 
for the reason that the thought center for belief 
never asks for the cause or explanation for hap¬ 
penings or occurrences, whether they belong to the 
past, present or future. 

The education of certain habits to the child, adult 
or old person, is a great hindrance to the welfare of 
the individual, community and nation. Ruining 
habits are many, but time allows the mention of only 
the worst ones. Often strong healthy young men 
have been expert ball-players, and their aim, ambition 
and purpose in life has been satisfied with that habit 
and the indvidual life and thought centers have ar¬ 
ranged and built themselves in such way as to make 
the habit of ball-playing the prime object in life. 
Whenever the community and nation educates cer- 


92 


tain people to a habit as a means whereby they earn 
a living, other members of the community and nation 
must work the harder so as to support these non¬ 
producing members. Furthermore, people who are 
able to be habit experts, naturally neglect to develop 
all their thought centers in harmonious correspond¬ 
ence with God, or Universal Creative Law. Such 
correspondence would weaken the selected habits 
thought centers and the habit expert would then be 
able to understand why all the thought centers should 
be exercised and developed. The habit experts often 
develop selected thought centers so strongly that a 
marked expression from the exertion is apparent on 
them and will follow the nearest future generations, 
as a consequence of irregularly and extremely strong 
or weak individual thought centers of a habit slave. 

Most of the evil that comes from the educated 
habit of ball-playing is to the habitual or slavish 
watchers, as both their time and money are spent 
without anything in return. In other words, they get 
nothing in exchange for their money and nothing is 
produced by the watching. Such waste reacts upon 
the community as a whole. It might be explained 
that the time and money spent for watching the 
educated habit of ball-playing belongs to the slavish 
watchers, but, these habitual slavish watchers would 
not understand the value of relieving the needy with 
the money, nor the over-worked with their leisure 
time. The fault which makes such conditions possi¬ 
ble lies in the general understanding of the com¬ 
munity. There are members of the community who 
cannot afford to spend time and money for the privi¬ 
lege of watching an educated habit, which gives noth- 


93 

ing in return. These members are compelled to work 
seven days in the week and are still hardly able to 
earn a fair living. Is such a condition the fault of 
some members of the community, of educated habits, 
or the regulation of the community as a whole? 

The community or nation educating a child, adult 
or. old person to some religious superstition, that can¬ 
not be understood, explained, or practiced is produc¬ 
ing weaklings, insane, and criminals of every kind, 
as all the thought centers are not to be exercised 
when a person accepts religious theories to be real 
truth and still does not understand the cause for such 
imaginary religious superstition. 

The practice of educating by the Salvation Army 
with its relieving system is seemingly a blessing to all 
who are needy of bodily and mental comforts. The 
most needy have an opportunity to get some support 
from that kind of education; but the great danger 
and evil which follows such education is this, that 
strong, healthy young men and women make them¬ 
selves the earnest servants of non-producers, idle 
beggars and givers, standing between the greedy and 
needy, the robbers and the robbed. They accomplish 
nothing whereby to remove the cause for the evil, 
because they give thanks to the givers and accept 
thanks from the receivers. As time passes on these 
salvation armies’ strong, healthy young men and 
women grow older. Because of their earnest idle 
non-producing habits, they must be pensioned or 
taken care of in age, either by the community, God, 
or Universal Creative Law. God, or Universal 
Creative Law, does not seem to have any means 
whereby to relieve the wants for some of his off- 


94 

spring except by letting some of the others give back 
part of what they do not need, or what does not be¬ 
long to them. Naturally the relief work has to be 
done by the people of the community. It is there¬ 
fore necessary for the community to get some strong 
healthy young new soldiers, non-producers or beg¬ 
gars and givers, to collect the pension or necessary 
means for existence for the old soldiers. The salva¬ 
tion army people pass their time in life without any 
usefulness so far as building the uniform harmonious 
individual life and thought centers is concerned; 
they rob rather the past, present and future genera¬ 
tions, who are trying to follow the natural course of 
evolution. These salvation army people bring from 
God, or Universal Creative Law, curses upon them¬ 
selves and the community, because all the thought 
centers are not uniformly exercised in that kind of 
religious devotion. 

The education of political systems to the child, 
adult or old person, is an undertaking of great im¬ 
portance, as some people accept certain teachings and 
regard them as absolute truth for their whole time 
in life. If, however, such teachings should be in 
any way misleading for the individual’s uniform 
development of all the thought centers necessary 
for harmonious communication with God, or Uni¬ 
versal Creative Law, they are a great hindrance to 
the free expansion and advancement in evolution, 
which is demanded of every person by God, or Uni¬ 
versal Creative Law. 

Every law or laws of the community or nation 
should be founded upon the individual thought cen¬ 
ters relation with God, or Universal Creative Law.

This would insure a complete equal protection and 
guidance of every person, whether he be weak or 
strong, sick or healthy, poor or rich, criminal or 
insanely inclined. 


CONCLUSION 

The author of this book is of such disposition 
that, when he sees or hears of suffering, either 
physical or mental, it has a depressing influence 
upon him. This is really the reason why this book 
has materialized. 

The present system of religious and medical the¬ 
ories has been discouraging to the author ever 
since he was able to exercise his own judgment. 

This book is the result of studying different 
theories and of a sincere and earnest inquiry for 
information from God, or Universal Creative Law. 
Anything said in this book the author is able to 
prove scientifically. If the reader considers any 
subject insufficiently dealt with, the author will be 
glad to give further information upon it, if he is 
given an opportunity.

America has produced a man with thought centers 
so constituted that he had sufficient knowledge and 
wisdom to select medicine from the vegetable king¬ 
dom that will cure any disease known to mankind. 
This great man was dissatisfied with the current 
medical science methods of creating and doctoring 
names for diseases. 

Therefore he discovered remedies for curing 
human ailments. The person referred to has passed 
away, so far as his physical body is concerned, but 
his good work is still living, and the author of this 
book hopes it will live forever to be a blessing to 
the world. If the reader is interested further par¬ 
ticulars will be cheerfully furnished upon inquiry.
